Who can even remember the names of their great-grandparents? They have vanished into the dim and distant past  (Our Grandparents Quotes) After our mom died, her parents (our grandparents) had this big court battle with dad. After six lawyers, two fistfights, and a near fatal attack with a spatula (don’t ask), they won the right to keep Sadie with them in England  (Our Grandparents Quotes) The urge to miniaturize electronics did not exist before the space program.

Imagine that it’s all going to be seen by your parents and your grandparents and your grandchildren as well  (Our Grandparents Quotes) Christmas is a huge thing in my family. We usually start decorating the day after Thanksgiving. We spend Christmas Eve with one set of grandparents, and Christmas Day with the other grandparents and our family  (Our Grandparents Quotes) We are not primitive. We live differently to you, but we do not live exactly like our grandparents did, nor do you. Were your ancestors ‘primitive’? I don’t think so. We respect our ancestors. We love our children. This is the same for all people  (Our Grandparents Quotes) The wisdom of our parents, grandparents, ancestors. In each individual life, it seems, we must first reject that wisdom, then later come to appreciate it  (Our Grandparents Quotes) I could enjoy the life that I had by virtue of the educational attainment that my grandparents and parents had pursued. Education was always incredibly valued in our family  (Our Grandparents Quotes) As children, many of us were taught never to talk to strangers. As parents and grandparents, our message must change with technology to include strangers on the Internet  (Our Grandparents Quotes) The people who have recently come to this country to work and better their lives should be given the same opportunities that our parents, grandparents, and ancestors were given  (Our Grandparents Quotes) Maybe there is no actual place called hell. Maybe hell is just having to listen to our grandparents breathe through their noses when they're eating sandwiches  (Our Grandparents Quotes) If your grandparents are Mexican, you can relate through the roots of the show [Top Chef], through the food, through the traditions and find yourself and get to know yourself too  (Our Grandparents Quotes) Whereas our grandparents lived as if they had swallowed gyroscopes, we think and act as if we have swallowed Gallup polls  (Our Grandparents Quotes) We all grew up in communities with grandmothers who cooked two, three vegetables that you had to eat. There was no ifs, ands or buts about it. But that’s because many of our grandparents, they had community gardens; there was the vegetable man that came around. There were many other resources that allowed them to have access. So it’s not that people don’t know or don’t want to do the right thing; they just have to have access to the foods that they know will make their families healthier  (Our Grandparents Quotes) I hadn’t gotten old enough yet to realize that living sends a person not into the future but back into the past, to childhood and before birth, finally, to commune with the dead.

In this life we grow backwards  (Our Grandparents Quotes) I’m going to be working the next 25 or 30 years. People like me, if we want, number one, for no benefit reductions for our parents and our grandparents, number two, for the system to survive and exist for us, and, more importantly, number three, for the system to exist for us children, we are going to have to make reforms to that system  (Our Grandparents Quotes) Why do we love our grandparents so much? Part of the reason I think has to do with the tremendous natural affection and affinity that kids have for older people, whether they are their actual grandparents or not  (Our Grandparents Quotes) We’ll probably live 20 more years than our grandparents did. The question is, what are you going to do with those extra 20 years?  (Our Grandparents Quotes) I think women as well as men are concerned about jobs and the economy and spending and, and other issues. They’re concerned that when their kids graduate from college they have an economy and they have a future in this country and they, they have the same opportunity that we’ve had and our grandparents have had  (Our Grandparents Quotes)
