~By Virginia Foxx ~
There is no more reason to think that they expected the world to remain static than there is to think that any of us holds a crystal ball. The only way to create a foundational document that could stand the test of time was to build in enough flexibility that later generations would be able to adapt it to their own needs and uses.
~By Diane Wood ~
Last year the National Sorry Day Committee consulted with stolen generations people in every State and Territory, and concluded that programmes set up in response to the Bringing Them Home Report are reaching only a small fraction of those they are intended to help.
~By Malcolm Fraser ~

From education by the Church to education by Germanic value is a step of several generations.
~By Alfred Rosenberg ~

~By Bruce Babbitt ~
All of the generations go to what is chic for them, and theater seems to be an older generation's art form.
~By Estelle Parsons ~

~By Steve Chabot ~
There is a mysterious cycle in human events. To some generations much is given. Of other generations much is expected. This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny.
~By Franklin D. Roosevelt ~
And what's fascinating in The Ten Thousand Things is that although there's time, an inexorable time of the three generations of lives, actively present, but place is the time, time doesn't really have to do with simply the human experience of it.
~By Robert Creeley ~
The great Jewish scientists and philosophers of the last few generations - Spinoza, Einstein, Freud, Robert Oppenheimer and others - were natives of Europe and America.
~By David Ben Gurion ~

~By Mikhail Bakunin ~

~By Pierre Salinger ~
It is very remarkable, that in the book of life, we find some almost of all kinds of occupations, who notwithstanding served God in their respective generations, and shone as so many lights in the world.
~By George Whitefield ~
Our American story, for generations, is of a people who seek to move forward. A people who look at a mountain and worry not about the tough climb ahead, but dream about the view from the summit.
~By Bill Owens ~
It's a song that we sing after we win a Test match. We sing it after every one-day series win. It's been passed down through the generations. It's the culture of the Australian team.
~By Ricky Ponting ~
We, of our time, have played our part in the perseverance, and we have pledged ourselves to the dead generations who have preserved intact for us this glorious heritage, that we, too, will strive to be faithful to the end, and pass on this tradition unblemished.
~By Eamon de Valera ~
It's amazing how fast generations lose sight of other generations. One of the first things the young composers who come to work with me say is that they want to write music people will like, instead of gaining their credentials by being rejected by the audience.
~By Carlisle Floyd ~
But these realities will make themselves felt soon enough and while I am certainly not asking you to close your eyes to the experiences of earlier generations, I want to advise you not to conform too soon and to resist the pressure of practical necessity.
~By Felix Bloch ~
I plant a lot of trees. I am a great believer in planting things for future generations. I loathe the now culture where you just live for today.
~By Penelope Keith ~
Why shouldn't future generations and young Americans have the choice to earn a higher rate of return? Why shouldn't they be able to own their own Social Security so that Congress can't spend it on other things?
~By Ken Mehlman ~

~By Malcolm Fraser ~
In light of these facts Republicans have put forth a variety of proposals to make Social Security remain solvent for future generations. But up to this point, Democrats have chosen to oppose our good faith efforts and insist that indeed there is no problem.
~By John Doolittle ~
If future generations are to remember us more with gratitude than sorrow, we must achieve more than just the miracles of technology. We must also leave them a glimpse of the world as it was created, not just as it looked when we got through with it.
~By Lyndon B. Johnson ~
Whether they run a record company or a grocery store, every boss will tell you you're in big trouble if you're borrowing more than you can ever afford to pay back. Delaying the pain for future generations is suicidal. We've got to start getting the deficit down right now, not next year.
~By Simon Cowell ~
While it may take generations of nurturing, nations founded on and grounded in freedom will eventually overcome and prosper. Once free, folks rarely accept anything less, and that includes Iraqis.
~By Trent Lott ~
We need to remember across generations that there is as much to learn as there is to teach.
~By Gloria Steinem ~
Coming generations will learn equality from poverty, and love from woes.
~By Khalil Gibran ~
The year I was born, 1956, was the peak year for babies being born, and there are more people essentially our age than anybody else. We could crush these new generations if we decided too.
~By Tom Hanks ~

~By Sunil Gavaskar ~
Let us make future generations remember us as proud ancestors just as, today, we remember our forefathers.
~By Moo-hyum Roh ~

~By Spencer Bachus ~
We believe that peace is not just signed papers, but rather a contract between generations for the building of a more promising and less threatening future.
~By King Hussein I ~
Our enemies are Medes and Persians, men who for centuries have lived soft and luxurious lives; we of Macedon for generations past have been trained in the hard school of danger and war. Above all, we are free men, and they are slaves.
~By Arrian ~
Demography is changing us as we are older societies, we're living longer. How the generations balance each other out, how that affects education and health care.
~By Howard Baker ~
I was one of the first generations to watch television. TV exposes people to news, to information, to knowledge, to entertainment. How is it bad?
~By Tom Clancy ~

I maintain that if there is such a thing as a true and honest environmentalist, it's people like Slim and hopefully me, who have been caretakers of the land all our lives, along with the generations before us.
~By Wilford Brimley ~
It is up to us to live up to the legacy that was left for us, and to leave a legacy that is worthy of our children and of future generations.
~By Christine Gregoire ~
The tree of knowledge is not the tree of life! And yet can we cast out of our spirits all the good or evil poured into them by so many learned generations? Ignorance cannot be learned.
~By Gerard De Nerval ~
Eight generations of African-Americans are still waiting to achieve their rights - compensation and restitution for the hundreds of years during which they were bought and sold on the market.
~By Cynthia McKinney ~
Our work is before us. It cannot be passed to future legislatures and must not be passed to future generations. May we boldly seize the moment with singular unity. And may we build a Texas of unlimited possibility.
~By Rick Perry ~

~By Lucille Roybal Allard ~
I would love to expose multiple younger generations to Frank's music. It's not an easy task because It's not ever going to be plastered all over the radio for the masses.
~By Dweezil Zappa ~
Genetics is about how information is stored and transmitted between generations.
~By John M. Smith ~

~By Judy Chicago ~

~By Dana Delany ~
Hopefully, generations after us will continue to protect, preserve, and look after this wonderful land.
~By Wilford Brimley ~
In a few generations more, there will probably be no room at all allowed for animals on the earth: no need of them, no toleration of them.
~By Marie Louise ~
But you say, does it represent change? The change is that we are fighting an insurance industry that has killed health reform for generations. They're spending tens of millions of dollars right now to defeat this bill, and we're on the doorstep of winning a great victory for the American people.
~By David Axelrod ~
I believe that as a nation we must have a bipartisan discussion about how to best preserve and protect Social Security for our seniors and for future generations of Americans.
~By Steve Israel ~

~By Keith Henson ~
If we hold true to our ideals and our commitment to freedom, this generation of servicemen and women will have extended liberty to the Iraqi people, just as previous generations of Americans have all across the globe.

~By Paul Kantner ~
Ensuring quality higher education is one of the most important things we can do for future generations.
~By Ron Lewis ~
The fact that the movement was carried on by women who, for the most part, had no money of their own and were totally inexperienced in organization, and that they won their fight in about two generations, makes a story often dramatic and always worth preserving.
~By Florence E. Allen ~
Unaware of the absurdity of it, we introduce our own petty household rules into the economy of the universe for which the life of generations, peoples, of entire planets, has no importance in relation to the general development.
~By Alexander Herzen ~
As a first generation Jewish American, I have witnessed firsthand Jewish immigrants who have come to this Nation in order to create a better life for themselves, their families, and future generations.
~By Jan Schakowsky ~
How much will you give for the lives of your childrens children, which is yourself? How much are people willing to give up for air, earth, water, animals, and the coming generations? I think the answer to that is pretty clear.
~By Lynette Fromme ~
Our deep respect for the land and its harvest is the legacy of generations of farmers who put food on our tables, preserved our landscape, and inspired us with a powerful work ethic.
~By James H. Douglas ~

~By Martin Sheen ~

~By L. Neil Smith ~
Is the minor convenience of allowing the present generation the luxury of doubling its energy consumption every 10 years worth the major hazard of exposing the next 20,000 generations to this lethal waste?
~By David R. Brower ~
Sarah will talk to me about someone and I don't know who she's talking about, but if she talks to my mother, the two of them will know exactly - and across several generations, too.
~By Prince Andrew ~
Perhaps most ridiculous of all is the suggestion that we 'keep' our radioactive garbage for the use of our descendants. This 'solution', I think, requires an immediate poll of the next 20,000 generations.
~By David R. Brower ~
Planning ahead is a measure of class. The rich and even the middle class plan for future generations, but the poor can plan ahead only a few weeks or days.
~By Gloria Steinem ~
Genetic studies in Iceland have found that many of the women who were the founding stock of Iceland came from England and what is now France. Some were probably captured and carried off in Viking raids only 40 generations ago.
~By Keith Henson ~
The lessons of the past should steer us towards ensuring lasting legacies for generations yet to be born.
