Famous quotes containing the word ancestors:

    “The reverence for the deeds of our ancestors is a treacherous sentiment. Their merit was not to reverence the old, but to honor the present moment; and we falsely make them excuses of the very habit which they hated and defied.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
