“The youth program has kids coming in from all other areas of San Diego. So the girls that are coming in, we're teaching them how to play lacrosse and then they go off and play for another high school and they smoke us on the field. And it's proof in the pudding that what we're doing is right, because we're spreading the good word of the game, we're spreading the good word of the sport, and the heritage of the sport.”
Audrey Wallace
“Youth is wonderful. It's a shame to waste it on the young.”
Mark Twain
“Reggaeton means the same thing to Latino youth as hip-hop does to African-American kids. We didn't have artists to look up to before. But the young kids now, they're looking at Daddy Yankee and Tego Calderon and Ivy Queen like kids in the American 'hood look up to 50 Cent or 2Pac. I'm representing for my culture and my people. It's their music.”
Daddy Yankee
“This money right here is going to the youth football league because a lot of kids in the inner city will appreciate that. Make some noise for the kids, man,”
Snoop Dogg
“In my youth there were words you couldn't say in front of a girl; now you can't say 'girl'”
Tom Lehrer
“I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass.”
Maya Angelou
“In Dixie Youth, everybody plays no matter what, ... You play tournament ball, and you don't. I really think kids realize that and know they've got to get better. In Dixie Youth, there's really no incentive to bust your butt, work hard and get better. You're going to play no matter what. I don't disagree with that, but I do think a kid needs to realize 'I'm not as good as Joe, so I need to get better.'”
William Barnes
