I think we have a number of young people – like yourself – who want to make a difference. I’m not sure the numbers are as large because I think the burden of getting elected to public office at the national level has become astronomically expensive.
I want young people to see me and think you can be feminine and smart and successful, all at the same time.
Of course it’s true: the public want to see young people – young people are the people who go to the cinema. It’s a sad fact of life, but you’ve got to accept it and not whine about it.
Young people are forced to mature sooner now than in the ’40s. I was doing things at age 14 that guys in the movie were just beginning to do at 16 and 17.
Everybody recognises that giving young people competitive outlet through sport is a very good thing.
It was a phenomenon I noticed many years ago. Young people were just giving up every bit of information about themselves they could.
And I want to thank Bernie Sanders. Bernie, your campaign inspired millions of Americans, particularly the young people who threw their hearts and souls into our primary. You’ve put economic and social justice issues front and center, where they belong.
The young people look great on television. They’re youthful and have a lot of zip and energy, but when you see them live, they can only do about 20 minutes because they haven’t got the training to hold an audience for an hour and a half or so.
For young people, it doesn’t matter so much, but when you’re older, less is definitely more – too much make-up can give you the ‘eccentric Aunt Sally’ look!
Young people have so much more power than they tend to think to be able to affect politics. And if people will organize and get involved and go out and knock on doors and hand out leaflets and make a change, then they can determine the future.
It was amazing that a play that seems dated in this world… A man whose best friend is a six-foot white rabbit… But it caught on, especially with young people – they surprised me most of all.
I believe strongly in the power of arts education to engage and empower young people.
You’re not lonely when you’re teaching, you’re not quiet, you’re laughing most of the time, you’re having a wonderful time interacting with young people. It’s the best fun in the world.
My fiancee’s brother-in-law was recently paralysed in an accident and it really brought home the fact that thousands of young people live with spinal injuries. It’s an issue I wish had more coverage.
Leadership that exploits and sacrifices young people on the altar of its goals is nothing more than raw, demonic power. Genuine leadership is found in ceaseless efforts to foster young people, to pave the way forward for them.
It seems to me that most things that are being made are designed for young people. There aren’t that many depictions of melancholic older people, even though they form a growing proportion of the population.
There are many reasons why vulnerable young people join militant groups, but among them are poverty and ignorance. Indeed Boko Haram – which translates in English, roughly, as ‘Western Education Is Sinful’ – preys on the perverted belief that the opportunities that education brings are sinful.
I think people can learn from my experience – you know, any young people who are under pressure, whether you work on Wall Street or you work in a factory in Alabama, and young journalists.
Our young people are out on the streets looking for parties, a place to dance, looking for a scene. No institutions are providing them with alternatives, fun things to do that don’t necessarily have alcohol at the center.
Now I don’t know half of the young people in the industry. It’s too spread out, too diffuse.
The spirit of the Olympic movement is great for young people because it teaches them about the training and discipline required to compete. Even if they don’t make the teams, they can rededicate their lives to the art of sport, discipline, and physical fitness.
What’s amazing is, if young people understood how doing well in school makes the rest of their life so much interesting, they would be more motivated. It’s so far away in time that they can’t appreciate what it means for their whole life.
When I talk to other young people, I try to be as straightforward as possible. I’m a kid. I love getting outdoors. You should get outside, too!
Young people have got to start their own theaters, really. All good theater is a kind of mom-and-pop operation. Start your own theater.
Young people are so often dissed by the media.
I know there are a lot of musicians and a lot of artists, and there are a lot of writers and other people who inspire young people, but I’d like to see somebody in political life be able to connect and make these choices that we need to make in Washington real in terms of people’s lives.
I want young people to know that they can belong – whatever your culture, your religion, your sexuality – that you can live life how you want to live it and feel comfortable how you are.
The young people of India will build a strong and powerful nation, a nation that is politically mature and economically strong, a nation whose people enjoy both a high quality of life as well as justice.
Heat of blood makes young people change their inclinations often, and habit makes old ones keep to theirs a great while.
The jobs outlook in the U.S. isn’t very good. And it’s really about young people.
Young people in particular need real options to find a decent job and to lift their lives. I’m not sure the new Islamist governments will be the best to promote prosperity and growth.
We lack role models who can inspire our young people to make change.
The young people today are the 21st century.
Young people are often asked, ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ and given advice about how to lead meaningful adult lives, but where’s the encouragement to lead meaningful lives right now?
I want our young people to believe as we did that there is no goal too high to reach if they are willing to work.
I prefer being around young people. I don’t like situations from the past, definitely no nostalgia. I prefer to think of doing everything new with a different generation that has a different mentality.
You never know how things will last, if they will last, and how people will use them in the future. It was a fun movie for young people at the time in the 80s; but it struck a cord with people and it has lasted so I’m very proud of being a part of that.
What’s happened – in our country, anyhow – is that the young people have shied away from the formality of the concert hall, that tie – and – tails philharmonic image.
Young people are already leading on climate action. I see it at rallies to reject the Keystone XL dirty tar sands pipeline. I see it in the push to demand justice for communities being run over by fracking operations.
If you were to actually travel around schools and universities and listen in on lectures about evolution, you might find a fairly substantial fraction of young people, without knowing what it is they disapprove of, think they disapprove of it, because they’ve been brought up to.
I’m somewhat horrified because I don’t think the young people today even know what history is. Some of them don’t’ even study History at school anymore or Geography and they don’t know where one place is from another.
Supporting drama for young people is close to my heart.
When something startlingly new comes up, young people, especially, seize it. You can’t complain about that. I think its heyday has passed, but it’s had an effect and will continue to have an effect.
If you invest in education and training of our young people, what you do is you increase the future economic capacity of the nation.
Young people do not watch television; they are on the Internet.
Our young people are assets to be cultivated and nurtured; let’s begin treating them that way.
The poem is the literary form of the 21st century. It’s able to connect young people in a deep way to language… it’s language as play.
If everything had already been done, there would be nothing left for young people to accomplish. There are always going to be people who run faster, jump higher, dive deeper, and come up drier.
I’m like an old vampire, so it’s important to talk to young people.
The United States government has the obligation to educate all young people in this country.
We should not throw in the towel. Instead, we should be saying to young people, ‘There is a better way for you to have a healthy and productive life, and that’s not to get into drug use and drug abuse.’
Through social media, young people are constantly being pinged about a whole slew of potentially better matches or social activities.
As politics is disconnected from its ethical and material moorings, it becomes easier to punish and imprison young people than to educate them.
As a college student, I worked as a mentor, and that got me involved in working with young people long before I became a foster parent.
Getting the Games for London has been the fulfilment of a dream. It is one which I truly believe can change the lives of hundreds of thousands of young people for the better. But in the end, nothing can quite compare with winning your first Olympic gold medal.
