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)

    “In different hours, a man represents each of several of his ancestors, as if there were seven or eight of us rolled up in each man’s skin,—seven or eight ancestors at least, and they constitute the variety of notes for that new piece of music which his life is.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Our ancestors ... possessed a right, which nature has given to all men, of departing from the country in which chance, not choice has placed them.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
