Famous quotes containing the word generation:

    We need to encourage members of this next generation to become all that they can become, not try to force them to become what we want them to become. . . . You and I can’t even begin to dream the dreams this next generation is going to dream, or answer the questions that will be put to them.

    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    Every generation rediscovers and re-evaluates the meaning of infancy and childhood.
    Arnold Gesell (20th century)
