Famous quotes containing the word ancestors:

    “I have often felt as though I had inherited all the defiance and all the passions with which our ancestors defended their Temple and could gladly sacrifice my life for one great moment in history. And at the same time I always felt so helpless and incapable of expressing these ardent passions even by a word or a poem.”
    —Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)

    “Our ancestors ... were laborers, not lawyers.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “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)
