Generation

"The philosophy of the schoolroom in one generation is the philosophy of government in the next."

"Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations."

"I am increasingly persuaded that the earth belongs exclusively to the living and that one generation has no more right to bind another to it's laws and judgments than one independent nation has the right to command another."

"Each new generation born is in effect an invasion of civilization by little barbarians, who must be civilized before it is too late."

"Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new."

"The nation behaves well if it treats the natural resources as assets which it must turn over to the next generation increased; and not impaired in value."

"A true artist always looks to the new generations."

"Generations do not cease to be born, and we are responsible to them because we are the only witnesses they have."
