“Youth is when you’re allowed to stay up late on New Year’s Eve”

American columnist Bill Vaughan (1915-1977), writing in the column “Senator Soaper Says,” said this on December 31, 1958:
 
“Youth is when you are allowed to stay up late on New Year’s eve. Middle age is when you are forced to.”
   
The line has been frequently cited every New Year’s Eve.
