Famous quotes containing the word generation:

    “It is a sort of ranger service. Arnold’s expedition is a daily experience with these settlers. They can prove that they were out at almost any time; and I think that all the first generation of them deserve a pension more than any that went to the Mexican war.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
