If you would be a leader of men, you must lead your own generation, not the next.
I pray every day for my little girls. It's hard out there for the younger generation.
There is always a heavy demand for fresh mediocrity. In every generation the least cultivated taste has the largest appetite.
Pay no heed to the passing religious vogue. Go back to the grass roots. Open your hearts and search the Scriptures. Bear your cross, follow your Lord. The masses are always wrong. In every generation the number of the righteous is small. Be sure you are among them.
The next generation product almost never comes from the previous generation.
It is mere childishness to expect men to believe as their fathers did; that is, if they have any minds of their own. The world is a whole generation older and wiser than when the father was of his son's age.
The new generation of Labour is different. Different attitudes, different ideas, different ways of doing politics.
Most of us are in this more than just for playing soccer. We're in it for the bigger goal - to move it along for the next generation.
Liberty cannot be caged into a charter or handed on ready-made to the next generation. Each generation must recreate liberty for its own times. Whether or not we establish freedom rests with ourselves.
What one generation tolerates, the next generation will embrace.
Sex criminals. Completely incurable. . . I suppose you could outlaw religion and these sex crimes would disappear in a generation or two, but we don't have time for rational solutions.
A part of what makes myths live is their multiplicity, the way different voices retell them in every generation. Homer survives because his poetry was outstanding, yes, but also because he's been passed down by so many by luminaries like Vergil and Ovid, Shakespeare, James Joyce and Margaret Atwood, but also by countless others. I wanted to do my part for these tremendous stories.
I remind young people everywhere I go, one of the worst things the older generation did was to tell them for twenty-five years "Be successful, be successful, be successful" as opposed to "Be great, be great, be great". There's a qualitative difference.
Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total; of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.
Every generation is more influenced by technology, which is always changing faster.
I believe that in this generation those with the courage to enter the conflict will find themselves with companions in every corner of the world.
I feel like we were the last generation, and there's this big divide before and after the 1990s. I feel sorry for the kids today. It's all too much.
I'm from the Vietnam generation. I didn't serve.
I believe I belong to the last literary generation, the last generation, that is, for whom books are a religion.
I decided to go into politics because my children are growing up, and I became worried about the ways things are being handled in this country. I felt there's a lost generation of people who feel misrepresented, and that they're doing their best for the country but the country is not doing its best for them. We are all looking at our children and wondering whether or not they will see their future in Israel. They looked at the country before the last elections and saw it becoming more and more Orthodox. There was a strong sense of unfairness.
