Young people, you need the wisdom of age, just as some of us older ones need your enthusiasm for life.
I do believe the most important thing I can do now is to help young people understand the past and prepare for the future.
We’re not at a point in time to be taking chances with children and young people in the church. The Holy Father himself said… there is no room in the priesthood or religious life for someone who has abused a child. I think he’s right.
The place of chess in the society is closely related to the attitude of young people towards our game.
A relationship with young people is very important to me. It’s important to have a sense of what’s going on in their world and not just in my own. So the opportunity teaching provides is a gift.
I enjoy seeing young people being interested in what they can do.
When you’re younger and you see something that really speaks to you, it’s indelible in a way that’s not the same as when you’re an adult. So I’ll always love reading books and making movies that resonate with young people.
I had never thought of hosting, but a really good friend of mine said, ‘This is the most empowered platform to speak to young people about the issues that you care about, which is why you’re in this in the first place.’ So I was like, ‘Yeah, no, it makes perfect sense.’ And so that’s what I started doing.
‘Dreamers’ was because I really wanted to go back after I heard so much nonsense about ’68. I wanted to go back to what for me was ’68, when young people thought that they could change the world.
If the truth be known, we are on the verge of losing an entire generation of our young people, killing and dying in the streets of America.
I’ve always been interested in exploring the concept of child prodigies. When I was younger, I wrote a story about Mozart as a child, and I just always loved this idea of young people who are able to take control of their lives and bring a whole lot of change at such a young age.
I am President of the UN created University for Peace, which has a strong commitment to the relationship between peace, security and the environment. I meet with young people around the world and I always come away enthused and encouraged.
Almost every time I am in a lectureship on a college campus, young people will say, If there is a God and if he is a loving and merciful God, how do you explain the problems of suffering and death and all the tragedies that happen to people?
Conservation destroys the present. If we are only busy preserving the past, we are not living in the present and unable to look forward. I am against conservation. We should let young people move forward, whether we agree with them or not. We should let new things happen.
Young people are being elected for School Boards all over the country.
Throughout the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s, federal mandatory minimum laws were implemented that forced judges to deliver sentences far lengthier than they would have if allowed to use their own discretion. The result has been decades of damage, particularly to young people.
I was in the U.K. and Germany and went to Volkswagen and learned about their apprenticeship model – young people become paid apprentices in trades. It’s not a coincidence that youth unemployment is far lower in Germany than the United States because there are paid opportunities for young people to get experience.
You see the transformation that the arts have on young people. It changes their lives for the better. That’s where my engagement is.
We have to be focused on growing the party and getting young people to see us as a viable option.
America needs young people to be inspired to choose sacrifice over greed.
Errors in decision-making lead young people to under-save for retirement, doctors to miss tumours, CEOs to make catastrophic investments, governments to engage in needless wars, and parents to irreversibly traumatize their children.
The Trevor Project is committed to providing all young people, regardless of sexual identity, the opportunity to be heard and the encouragement to be themselves.
The young people I know judge leaders by their deeds and abhor hypocrisy. Inconsistency and point-scoring do not win respect. It’s not easy to be engaged in political debate when it is reduced to performers trying to outdo each other. Actions from leaders must mirror the values they claim to espouse.
Young people think Rosa Parks just sat down on a bus and ended segregation, but that wasn’t the case at all.
I’d like to think my performance is today. I never try to – it’s so, as you know, watching me, I have a beginning, middle and ending. But every night the show changes and I relate to an audience and I relate to the young people.
Young people ask me if this country is serious about science. They aren’t thinking about the passport that they will hold, but the country that they must rely on for support and encouragement.
I very much believe in teaching young people about philanthropy, and to give back.
I think Dr Dre really evolved and really is a great role model for young people that have had to survive and thrive against all odds. He was able to turn his life around and create an empire and become a successful family person.
Right around the end of the fifties, college students and young people in general, began to realize that this music was almost like a history of our country – this music contained the real history of the people of this country.
I never thought that I would sell to young people, but now girls who are 14 and 15 buy my shoes.
I’m still grappling with all the things most people resolve by the time they’re 35. Maybe that’s why I make music that is relevant to young people. I’m emotionally stuck at the age of 13.
Old people should be heard but not seen. Young people should be seen, not heard.
As you grow older and young people come up to you with their history books, you realize that some of the things I have been able to do have been impactful. But for me, I try to keep everything in perspective and stay humble.
The other thing that was very noticeable on that tour, not so much in the video, was the new young element that were coming to our shows… I started to see some very young people in the audience… maybe 14, 15, 16 years old.
I do think we’re on the edge of a terrifying world, and that many young people know that but don’t know how to talk about it.
What’s more enchanting than the voices of young people, when you can’t hear what they say?
There’s something so healthy about young people speaking up in unity.
As much as I appreciate people putting me in the category of these very acrobatic belters, I feel like my strength is my… interpretation and my truthfulness with songs, and I don’t want young people to think it’s all about the high notes that they have to hit.
I started using the Internet when I was 12 years old. I would go into chat rooms and flirt. It was the beginning of the Internet for young people.
When they are assailed by despair, young people should let universal concerns into their lives.
I find young people talk about what they want to do, which is great because you get to form the words, but its also like, you gotta just get in there.
We need to create an ecosystem which will make young people want to start their own company.
We can’t forget that there are so many young people who are homeless – and unbelievably vulnerable.
I guess people don’t think that young girls or young artists have opinions, but I’m so glad that there’s artists like Lorde and Raury and Kehlani because they’re showing other people that young people can have an opinion and a voice and do really well with it. I’m glad I can be one of those people.
Something has to change in the world. Without change, young people will have no future.
I meet young people who know me and are familiar with my stuff. They know the package. They might have cherry-picked five or six key tunes. That’s how it seems to work. I sometimes wonder if they realise they are not getting the whole context.
You know, the diversity that America has is so special. It’s starting to really become a cool thing for young people.
I think it’s important to show people, especially young people, that it’s okay to have a personality. And that they can express themselves however they like.
The youth of Taiwan not only have to face the harsh reality of low wages and high commodity and housing prices, but due to the lack of employment opportunities, many young people are forced to leave their home towns to search for jobs in the cities.
Actually, to be an effective person politically in this country, I think you have to be thirty or over, and also you have to be rich, well-placed, you have to be close to power. And I don’t think that young people, because they look young, can do much, as I think they are counterproductive.
The academy gave me a grounding in discipline and hard work that has sustained me throughout my life, and the lessons I learned there I now try to impress on young people.
I feel there’s an existential angst among young people. I didn’t have that. They see enormous mountains, where I only saw one little hill to climb.
When I hear young people today complain about being bored – and the things that keep them from being bored are generally exclusively videogames and/or computer pastimes – I just try to encourage them to go outside.
