Famous quotes containing the word ancestors:

    “Rights! There are no rights whatever without corresponding duties. Look at the history of the growth of our constitution, and you will see that our ancestors never upon any occasion stated, as a ground for claiming any of their privileges, an abstract right inherent in themselves; you will nowhere in our parliamentary records find the miserable sophism of the Rights of Man.”
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    “It is fortunate that each generation does not comprehend its own ignorance. We are thus enabled to call our ancestors barbarous.”
    —Charles Dudley Warner (1829–1900)

    “Tradition! We scarcely know the word anymore. We are afraid to be either proud of our ancestors or ashamed of them. We scorn nobility in name and in fact. We cling to a bourgeois mediocrity which would make it appear we are all Americans, made in the image and likeness of George Washington.”
    —Dorothy Day (1897–1980)
