Very few if any first-generation black or white or Asian kids will pursue a Ph.D. They'll pursue the professions for economic security. Many will go to law school and/or business school.

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.

I believe we need to attract a new generation of the best and brightest to public service and I believe that government can be a source of inspiration not degradation.

We have the power to make this the best generation of mankind in the history of the world or to make it the last.

The New York City Ballet is obviously speaking to a whole new generation and bringing it the same wonder and beauty that it brought previous generations.

And I think of that again as I've written in several of my beauty books a lot of health comes from the proper eating habits which are something that - you know I come from a generation that wasn't - didn't have a lot of food.

Hence within the space of two generations there has been a complete revolution in the attitude of the trades-unions toward the women working in their trades.

This generation... they have a different attitude. Instead of sitting and watching something they want to be a part of it - they're very hedonistic and sensual.

The greatest discovery of my generation is that man can alter his life simply by altering his attitude of mind.

The contemporary thing in art and literature is the thing which doesn't make enough difference to the people of that generation so that they can accept it or reject it.
