Famous quotes containing the word ancestors:

    “Our ancestors ... were laborers, not lawyers.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “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)

    “... no human being is master of his fate, and ... we are all motivated far more than we care to admit by characteristics inherited from our ancestors which individual experiences of childhood can modify, repress, or enhance, but cannot erase.”
    —Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
