World Heritage

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or heritage:

“Every man is not so much a workman in the world as he is a suggestion of that he should be. Men walk as prophecies of the next age.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“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)
