Treat your elders as elders, and extend it to the elders of others; treat your young ones as young ones, and extend it to the young ones of others; then you can turn the whole world in the palm of your hand

Mencius

People say, 'Respect your elders,' but I always go, 'Respect your young people because they are our future.'

Booker T

When your elders are millennia-old demigods, you’d best take the injunction to respect your elders seriously.

Nalo Hopkinson

Many young men started down a false path to their true destiny. Time and fortune usually set them aright.

Mario Puzo

Do the right things, respect your elders, respect your teachers, continue to work hard, and if you are religious and you have some type of faith... pray.

Ha Ha Clinton-Dix

The young, free to act on their initiative, can lead their elders in the direction of the unknown... The children, the young, must ask the questions that we would never think to ask, but enough trust must be re-established so that the elders will be permitted to work with them on the answers.

Margaret Mead

there are now no elders who know more than the young themselves about what the young are experiencing.

Margaret Mead

Perhaps I may record here my protest against the efforts, so often made, to shield children and young people from all that has to do with death and sorrow, to give them a good time at all hazards on the assumption that the ills of life will come soon enough. Young people themselves often resent this attitude on the part of their elders; they feel set aside and belittled as if they were denied the common human experiences.

Jane Addams

Follow the path of serenity. Why lose your temper if by losing it you offend God, trouble your neighbor and in the end have to set things aright anyway?

Mother Teresa

In the time of the seventh Fire new people will emerge. They will retrace their steps to find what was left by the side of the trail long ago. Their steps will take them to the Elders, who they will ask to guide them on their journey. But many of the Elders will have fallen asleep. They will awaken to this new time with nothing to offer. Some of the Elders will be silent out of fear. But most of the Elders will be silent because no one will ask anything of them.

William Commanda

I was always taught to respect my elders and I've now reached the age when I don't have anybody to respect.

George Burns

I think every young child can learn through any martial art. They would then learn to respect their life, respect their parents, respect their country, and respect the whole world.

Jackie Chan

I was brought up to respect my elders, so now I don't have to respect anybody.

George Burns

I believe in a world of justice and human rights for all. A world where girls can grow up free of fear of abuse. A world where women are treated with the respect and dignity that is their right. A world where poverty is not acceptable. My dear young friends, you can make this your world.

Ban Ki-moon

Even very recently, the elders could say: 'You know, I have been young and you never have been old.' But today's young people can reply: 'You never have been young in the world I am young in, and you never can be.' ... the older generation will never see repeated in the lives of young people their own unprecedented experience of sequentially emerging change. This break between generations is wholly new: it is planetary and universal.

Margaret Mead

I think it's important to set up that boundary of respect for your kids at a young age, so they will know, I better listen to Mommy.
