When I was a kid, we called every teacher, every parent - anyone over the age of 20, it seemed - 'Mr. or Mrs. so-and-so.'
One thing that Alaskans clearly appreciate is seniority.
Most young people have tremendous respect for older people's views.
Those who respect age, deserve to live to be old, and to be respected themselves.
The younger generation gives me more respect than I could ever hope for.
The nice thing with the Arabs is that with age comes respect.
In Africa... age is not important over there. They don't care.
Telephone operators have called me 'sir' since I was 6.
Don't set your wit against a child.
A lot of kids do look up to us. But there are just as many elderly people to put us down.
