Famous quotes containing the word ancestors:

    Our ancestors were savages. The story of Romulus and Remus being suckled by a wolf is not a meaningless fable. The founders of every state which has risen to eminence have drawn their nourishment and vigor from a similar wild source. It was because the children of the Empire were not suckled by the wolf that they were conquered and displaced by the children of the northern forests who were.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    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)

    “My ancestors were all famous for military genius.”
    My Lady smiled graciously. “It often runs in families,” she remarked: “just as a love for pastry does.”
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
