Famous quotes containing the word heir:

Preferment goes by letter and affection,
And not by old gradation, where each second
Stood heir to th’ first.”

—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“Is it not strange, that an infant should be heir of the whole world, and see those mysteries which the books of the learned never unfold?”
