"When I was one and twenty, I heard a wise man say,
'Give crowns and pounds and guineas, but not your heart away.
Give pearls away, and rubies, but keep your fancy free.'
But I was one and twenty, no use to talk to me."
- A. E. Housman, When I Was One and Twenty (As quoted in Webster's Dictionary of Quotations)
The Bible says:
"Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth; while the evil days come not, and the years draw neigh when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them." - Ecclesiastes 12:1 (Audio)
