Every generation tries to put its doctrine on a high shelf where the children can not reach it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Each generation has a backlash against the generation before.
Every generation has an obligation to leave its children in a better position than it inherited. Our representatives in Washington are breaking faith with that covenant. America must reduce its federal spending and accumulation of debt for the sake of generations to come.
Every generation feels it has the problems that will destroy it. That's because we can perceive them a long time before we have the ability to fix them.
That which seems the height of absurdity in one generation often becomes the height of wisdom in another.
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.
Every generation is equidistant from God.
Every generation renews itself in its own way; there's always a reaction against whatever is standard.
Each generation looks to its children to keep our society moving and to make life better.
The glory of each generation is to make its own precedents.
Raising children is an incredibly hard and risky business in which no cumulative wisdom is gained: each generation repeats the mistakes the previous one made.
