Young Global Leaders

Famous quotes containing the words young, global and/or leaders:

    And oh! if my young babe were born,
    And set upon the nurse’s knee,
    And I my self were dead and gone
    For a maid again I’ll never be.
    Unknown. Waly, Waly (l. 37–40)

    As the global expansion of Indian and Chinese restaurants suggests, xenophobia is directed against foreign people, not foreign cultural imports.
    Eric J. Hobsbawm (b. 1917)

    People try so hard to believe in leaders now, pitifully hard. But we no sooner get a popular reformer or politician or soldier or writer or philosopher—a Roosevelt, a Tolstoy, a Wood, a Shaw, a Nietzsche, than the cross-currents of criticism wash him away. My Lord, no man can stand prominence these days. It’s the surest path to obscurity. People get sick of hearing the same name over and over.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
