I like that first one ...... "If youth knew; if age could." Sigmund Freud

Reminds me of one of my favorite sayings ....... "Youth is wasted on the young." - unknown

Yeah, that is one of my favorites. I try and tell my 14 yr old to listen to my 48 yr old advice. Maybe some will stick. ... no one learns off someone else's experience...
