Our young immigrants have a lot to offer. They are motivated and hard-working, and in many cases have already contributed significantly to our society - by excelling in school, by volunteering in their communities, or by serving in the military.

Our young people - and adults - should be aware that considerable dissent exists in the scientific world regarding the validity of molecules-to-man evolution.
‐‐ Ken Ham
Our young people are assets to be cultivated and nurtured; let's begin treating them that way.
‐‐ Jane Fonda
Our young people are out on the streets looking for parties, a place to dance, looking for a scene. No institutions are providing them with alternatives, fun things to do that don't necessarily have alcohol at the center.
‐‐ Donna Shalala
Our young people have come to look upon war as a kind of beneficent deity, which not only adds to the national honor but uplifts a nation and develops patriotism and courage.
‐‐ Rebecca Harding Davis
Our young people look up to us. Let us not let them down. Our young people need us. Saving them will make heroes of us all.
‐‐ Gale Sayers
Our young people - their capacities to think, understand, investigate, and innovate - are America's future.
‐‐ Robert Reich
Our youth deserve the opportunity to complete their high school and college education, free of early parenthood. Their future children deserve the opportunity to grow up in financially and emotionally stable homes. Our communities benefit from healthy, productive, well-prepared young people.
‐‐ Jane Fonda
Our youths are constantly trying to learn everything the West has to teach, but what is newest in the West has existed in China for thousands of years.
‐‐ Sun Yat-sen
Ours is a circle of friendships united by ideals.
‐‐ Juliette Gordon Low
Ours is a colourful and diversified world. It is also a complex one.
‐‐ Li Peng
Ours is a country built more on people than on territory. The Jews will come from everywhere: from France, from Russia, from America, from Yemen... Their faith is their passport.
‐‐ David Ben-Gurion
Ours is a country where anything can be accomplished if enough people get angry... because, in America, we act on our collective anger.
‐‐ Andrew Vachss
Ours is a divine journey; therefore, this journey has neither a beginning nor an end... This journey has a goal, but it does not stop at any goal, for it has come to realise that today's goal is only the starting point of tomorrow's journey.
‐‐ Sri Chinmoy
Ours is a God who waits. So who are we not to?
‐‐ Greg Boyle
Ours is a government of checks and balances. The Mafia and crooked businessmen make out checks, and the politicians and other compromised officials improve their bank balances.
‐‐ Steve Allen
Ours is a life of constant reruns. We're always circling back to where we'd we started, then starting all over again. Even if we don't run extra laps that day, we surely will come back for more of the same another day soon.
‐‐ Joe Henderson
Ours is a nation of laws: of citizens who live under them and for the citizens who enforce them. So, to a community in Ferguson that is rightly hurting and looking for answers, let me call once again for us to seek some understanding rather than simply holler at each other. Let's seek to heal rather than to wound each other.
‐‐ Barack Obama
Ours is a stable country. Ours is a sensible country. And ours is a fundamentally decent country.
‐‐ Charles Kennedy
Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war that we know about peace, more about killing that we know about living.
‐‐ Omar N. Bradley
Ours is a world where people don't know what they want and are willing to go through hell to get it.
‐‐ Don Marquis
Ours is a world which feels so unsettled and dangerous in large ways, whether it's terrorism or global financial meltdown or climate change - huge things that affect us deeply, and yet things about which we can do, individually, very little.
‐‐ Sarah Waters
Ours is an age of pedagogy. Anxious parents instruct their children more and more, at younger and younger ages, until they're reading books to babies in the womb.
‐‐ Alison Gopnik
Ours is an excessively conscious age. We know so much, we feel so little.
‐‐ D. H. Lawrence
Ours is an open and accepting society, and has historically provided an avenue for lawful immigration to all those willing to accept the responsibilities of citizenship.
‐‐ Spencer Bachus
Ours is decidedly not an age of Abrahams, Jacobs, or of youthful Elazars proud to be regarded as men of seventy. On the contrary, it is one in which the external signs of aging are avoided at all costs, youth is worshipped, and immortality is sought not in children but in Botox.
‐‐ Meir Soloveichik
Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically.
‐‐ D. H. Lawrence
Ours is not a poor country and even though we are now a poor people, there should be no room for the despondency that has settled on large sections of the population.
‐‐ John Agyekum Kufuor
Ours is one continued struggle against degradation sought to be inflicted upon us by the European, who desire to degrade us to the level of the raw Kaffir, whose occupation is hunting and whose sole ambition is to collect a certain number of cattle to buy a wife with, and then pass his life in indolence and nakedness.
‐‐ Mahatma Gandhi
Ours is the age of substitutes: instead of language, we have jargon: instead of principles, slogans: and, instead of genuine ideas, bright ideas.
‐‐ Eric Bentley
Ours is the century of enforced travel of disappearances. The century of people helplessly seeing others, who were close to them, disappear over the horizon.
‐‐ John Berger
Ours is the only country deliberately founded on a good idea.
‐‐ John Gunther
Ours not to reason why, ours but to do and die.
‐‐ Alfred Lord Tennyson
Ours was a loving, nurturing household, but, at the same time, my parents' goal was to make all their children self-sufficient.
‐‐ Bryce Dallas Howard
Ours was a very progressive Protestant family, but my parents were God-loving rather than God-fearing. We went to church, and I still go with my mum and dad when I return home - it's a family thing. I played flute in my dad's marching band, but I had an integrated upbringing. We had a lot of Catholic friends.
‐‐ James Nesbitt
Ours was not a normal or easy life.
‐‐ Justin Trudeau
Ours was not a political household, when I was growing up.
‐‐ Judith Guest
Out all of these zillions of letters, one of the first ones that came was, as it turned out from Johnny Carson within the last five or six weeks of his life. I had worked with him. He lost a son who had worked for me.
‐‐ Dick Ebersol
Out in the lonely woods the jasmine burns Its fragrant lamps, and turns Into a royal court with green festoons The banks of dark lagoons.
‐‐ Henry Timrod
Out-innovating them is the way to beat China. And to do everything that we do in this country to support innovative policy, that drives innovation and new products and more jobs and creates jobs. You can't - you can't put a wall up around here. We tried that in the '30s. It didn't work.
‐‐ Jack Welch
Out-marriage is an issue religious groups have been wrestling with for some time. Of course men and women fall in love. Of course it's not always convenient to their respective cultural and spiritual norms.
‐‐ G. Willow Wilson
Out of 3,500 students in my high school, I was the only openly professing Christian kid. Obviously there were challenges. 'Only old and stupid people believe.'
‐‐ Miroslav Volf
Out of 30 years of Second City I was probably the third African-American with the main stage cast. I was surprised when I first heard that. I think part of the reason that improvisation has never been popular with African-Americans is that it isn't popular in the inner cities.
‐‐ Tim Meadows
Out of 6 billion humans, the troublemakers are just a handful.
‐‐ Dalai Lama
'Out of Africa,' Dinesen's second book, is a love story, though not the one portrayed by Streep and Redford in the film. The memoir is about Dinesen's love of East Africa - the cultures, the landscapes, the animals. The feeling that saturates the book is reverence.
‐‐ Joanna Scott
Out of all artists, authors are the least trained for the spotlight. Wanting attention isn't a requisite part of the package.
‐‐ Sloane Crosley
Out of all my friends, I believe I'm the only kid whose dad made us work to cut rebars; we laid bricks in construction sites and did other real work every summer for minimum wage. Our dad said that it's important in the future that when we tell people to dig a hole, that you personally know how long it will take to dig that hole.
‐‐ Eric Trump
Out of all the actors I have worked with, I love working with Larry Hagman the most. We were very close and it was just a wonderful time.
‐‐ Barbara Eden
Out of all the artistic things I do, music is the most rewarding because it's so hard to write songs.
