Famous quotes containing the words natural, world and/or heritage:

    “It is natural for the mind to believe and for the will to love; so that, for want of true objects, they must attach themselves to false.”
    —Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    “I danced in the morning when the world was begun,
    And I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun,
    And I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth,
    At Bethlehem I had my birth.”
    —Sydney Carter (20th century)

    “It seems to me that upbringings have themes. The parents set the theme, either explicitly or implicitly, and the children pick it up, sometimes accurately and sometimes not so accurately.... The theme may be “Our family has a distinguished heritage that you must live up to” or “No matter what happens, we are fortunate to be together in this lovely corner of the earth” or “We have worked hard so that you can have the opportunities we didn’t have.””
    —Calvin Trillin (20th century)
