Youth: Conception by Plato, Shakespeare

Plato, The Republic:

“He who is of a calm and happy nature, will hardly feel the pressure of age, but to him who is of an opposite disposition, youth and age are equally a burden.”

Shakespeare, The Passionate Pilgrim:

“Crabbed ageĀ  and youth cannot live together. Youth is full of pleasure, age is full of care.”
