Top rated lines from this movie

Time is jealous of you, Mr. Gray. Don't squander the gold of your days. Live. Let nothing be lost upon you. Be afraid of nothing. There is such a little time that your youth will last and you can never get it back.
If only the picture could change, and I could be always what I am now. For that I would give everything. Yes, there's nothing in the whole world I would not give. I would give my soul for that.
I wish you would tell me how to become young again. -Can you remember any great errors that you committed in your early days? -A great many, I fear. -Then commit them over again. To regain one's youth, one has merely to repeat one's follies.
The world is yours for a season. It would be tragic if you realized too late as so many others do that there is only one thing in the world worth having, and that is youth.
I always choose my friends for their good looks and my enemies for their good intellects. A man cannot be too careful in his choice of enemies.
