What a mistake to suppose that the passions are strongest in youth! The passions are not stronger, but the control over them is weaker! They are more easily excited, they are more violent and apparent; but they have less energy, less durability, less intense and concentrated power than in the maturer life.
Great short quote and quotation by: Edward Bulwer-Lytton , English dramatist, novelist, & politician (1803 – 1873)
