Famous quotes containing the word ancestors:

    —Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 22:28.

    “Rights! There are no rights whatever without corresponding duties. Look at the history of the growth of our constitution, and you will see that our ancestors never upon any occasion stated, as a ground for claiming any of their privileges, an abstract right inherent in themselves; you will nowhere in our parliamentary records find the miserable sophism of the Rights of Man.”
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    “Our ancestors ... possessed a right, which nature has given to all men, of departing from the country in which chance, not choice has placed them.”
