It’s practically an evolutionary trait: older generations chide younger generations, and younger generations push back. According to the U. S. Census Bureau, there are some 76 million baby boomers. When it comes to generational divides, boomers and Generation Z might be miles apart age-wise, but both groups can appreciate some famous words or wisdom. Here are some great quotes for both high school seniors and older seniors to live by.
