Famous quotes containing the words descendants and, descendants and/or family:

    Not only does democracy make every man forget his ancestors, but also clouds their view of their descendants and isolates them from their contemporaries. Each man is for ever thrown back on himself alone, and there is danger that he may be shut up in the solitude of his own heart.
    Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)

    I call heaven and earth to witness against you today that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Choose life so that you and your descendants may live...
    Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 30:19.

    Do not let your bachelor ways crystallize so that you can’t soften them when you come to have a wife and a family of your own.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
