In the lexicon of Youth,
which fate reserves for a bright manhood,
there’s no such word as Fail.
Richelieu—EDWARD BULWER LYTTON

In the early days of youth which destiny waits for a better chance,
there is no such word as fail.
***
The lexicon of youth which is fated for a bright manhood, should
never fail.
***
The sentence means, in the beginning of youth the fate that is kept
for a bright manhood must not be a failure.
***
There was no such word as fail when I was a boy, but now I am a
man.
***
If you study while you are young your knowledge will be preserved
and you can not fail.
***
The word fail never appears in the natural teachings of youth and is
kept for bright manhood.
***
In a youth’s translation which is kept back until a riper age, there is
no such word which says fail.
***
The youth who is in his lexicon and about to spring into a bright
manhood, the word fail he knows not.
***
To fail is impossible for youth in the lexicon which is reserved for it.

Alone, but with unbated zeal,
The horseman plied with scourge and steel;
For jaded now and spent with toil,
Embossed with foam and dark with soil,
