Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
James A. Baldwin
Comrade Deng Xiaoping - along with other party elders - gave the party leadership their firm and full support to put down the political disturbance using forceful measures.
Li Peng
For the very first time the young are seeing history being made before it is censored by their elders.
Margaret Mead
Healthy children will not fear life if their elders have integrity enough not to fear death.
Erik H. Erikson
I did get a very fine education, and not just in science. It took some pressure on the part of my elders to convince me that I really should take an interest in humanities.
Joshua Lederberg
I savour the adulation and love I have been getting from my fans and the blessings of elders in my family. Fourteen years have given me a lot and I can't thank God and the industry enough.
Akshay Kumar
Mysteries, like the Masonic rites, are ones parents and elders are sworn not to reveal to the uninitiated, which include all children. And so we sought for signs.
Anthony Hecht
Ruling elders are declared to be the representatives of the people.
Charles Hodge
Thanks to television, for the first time the young are seeing history made before it is censored by their elders.
Margaret Mead
The advice of the elders to young men is very apt to be as unreal as a list of the hundred best books.
Oliver Wendell Holmes

Charles Hodge
The music business can be very cold. And it doesn't honor its elders.

The Senate is the last primitive society in the world. We still worship the elders of the tribe and honor the territorial imperative.
Eugene McCarthy
There are two barriers that often prevent communication between the young and their elders. The first is middle-aged forgetfulness of the fact that they themselves are no longer young. The second is youthful ignorance of the fact that the middle aged are still alive.
Jessamyn West
There has been enough suffering in our country, there has been enough of children whose dreams die before they have a chance to grow and there has been enough of our elders who, having served their nation, are forced into indignity in their old age.
John Agyekum Kufuor
Though the Jazz Age continued it became less and less an affair of youth. The sequel was like a children's party taken over by the elders.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Trouble is, kids feel they have to shock their elders and each generation grows up into something harder to shock.
Ben Lindsey
You will be courteous to your elders who have explored to the point from which you may advance; and helpful to your juniors who will progress farther by reason of your labors.
Abbott L. Lowell
