If we are to have faith that mankind will survive and thrive on the face of the earth, we must believe that each succeeding generation will be wiser than its progenitors.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The next generation has always been and will be better than the previous one. If it is not, then the world would not be moving forward.
Each generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it.
This generation has given up on growth. They're just hoping for survival.
Each generation takes the earth as trustees. We ought to bequeath to posterity as many forests and orchards as we have exhausted and consumed.
I see the whole concept of Generation X implies that everyone has lost hope.
Each generation goes further than the generation preceding it because it stands on the shoulders of that generation. You will have opportunities beyond anything we've ever known.
I don't believe in any Greatest Generation. I believe in great events. They sweep ordinary people up, expose them to extremes of human behavior and unimaginable tests of integrity and courage, and then deposit them back on the home front.
Every generation is equidistant from God.
The generation that comes next is always going to rebel against the generation that came before, and they're always going to be at odds with each other.
It does not have to be that the greatest generation is behind us. It does not have to be that our children will have a lower standard of living. It will be that way if we choose to believe that. I choose not to believe that.
