Famous quotes containing the words world and/or youth:

    In the field of world policy I would dedicate this Nation to the policy of the Good Neighbor—the neighbor who resolutely respects himself and, because he does, respects the rights of others—the neighbor who respects his obligations and respects the sanctity of his agreements in and with a world of neighbors.
    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    Well, youth is the period of assumed personalities and disguises. It is the time of the sincerely insincere.
    —V.S. (Victor Sawdon)
