I think every parent, every generation has wanted their children to do better and have a higher standard of living. But I think there's too much guilt. Phil McGraw
That the way to achieve higher standards of living for all is through science and technology, taking advantage of better tools, methods and organization. Charles E. Wilson
The young very seldom lead anything in our country today. It's been quite some time since a younger generation pushed an older one to a higher standard. Wynton Marsalis
In the literal sense, there has been no relevant evolution since the trek from Africa. But there has been substantial progress towards higher standards of rights, justice and freedom - along with all too many illustrations of how remote is the goal of a decent society. Noam Chomsky
You go to Scandinavia, and you will find that people have a much higher standard of living, in terms of education, health care and decent paying jobs. Bernard Sanders
