“Our chaotic economic situation has convinced so many of our young people that there is no room for them. They become uncertain andrestless and morbid; they grab at false promises, embrace false gods and judge things by treacherous values. Their insecurity makes them believe that tomorrow doesn't matter and the ineffectualness of their lives makes them deny the ideals which we of an older generation acknowledged.” PeopleBelieveMatterYoungValuesRoomsSituationGenerationsEconomicYouthJudgingTomorrowPromiseIdealsEmbraceDenyConvincedInsecurityUncertainChaoticMorbidTreacherousFalse GodsOlder GenerationFalse Promises Author:Hortense Odlum

“My friend had a brilliant idea. This impressed me. It reflected an immense deal of credit on his brain. But when he expressed it,it lost all value, and enjoyed but a commonplace status. My friend blamed this devaluation on the language. "I hate English," he said. So he studied another language. He mastered it so perfectly that there was no room left in his brain for a brilliant idea. Now he has a grudge against words. He refuses to use them. He prefers to shrug or grunt. A new crop of ideas is growing. They show promise of future refinement.” SaidIdeasUseShowsValuesHateLostLeftLanguageRoomsDealsBrainGrowingPromiseMy FriendsI HateRefuseCreditBrilliantEnjoyedImmenseImpressedCropsCommonplaceGrudgeRefinementBrilliant IdeasGrunt Author:Marvin L.

“The most important thing I can teach my kids is that you can't put your value in looks. Presence is based upon magnitude. You can pretend to have an air about you but it is quickly deflated, you cannot deflate presence. Presence walks into a room and surrounds and fills anything that's in that room without trying to demand it, it takes over. It can come from a smile. Like I said, love makes you beautiful. What is beautiful radiates.” TryingLooksSaidI CanImportantKidsBeautifulValuesWalksRoomsTeachAirDemandImportant ThingsOver ItSurroundMagnitude Author:Terrence Howard
“Life? Bah! It has no value. Of cheap things it is the cheapest. Everywhere it goes begging. Nature spills it out with a lavish hand.

“In a milieu of resignation, where the young men think of society as a closed room in which there are no values but the rejected rat race, ... it is extremely hard to aim at objective truth or world culture.

“It's immoral to parent irresponsibly... And it doesn't help matters any when prime time tv, like "Murphy Brown", a character who is supposed to represent a successful career woman of today, mocks the importance of the father by bearing a child alone, and calling it just another "lifestyle choice." Marriage is probably the best anti-poverty program there is... Even though our cultural leaders in Hollywood, network TV, the national newspapers routinely jeer at [such values] I think most of us in this room know that some things are good, and other things are wrong.” ThinkingKnowsChildrenMatterCharacterHelpingTodayValuesChoicesFatherParentRoomsLeaderCareersPovertySuccessfulTvsCallingProgramHollywoodImportanceLifestyleNewspapersBrownPrimeImmoralMurphyCareer WomenSuccessful CareerPrime TimeLifestyle ChoicesMurphy Brown Author:Dan Quayle
