Text Quotes
The written word is the only anchor we have in life. How extraordinary would it be if we had even three or four paragraphs written honestly about their lives by our ancestors?  (Ancestors Quotes) The hero’s will is not that of his ancestors nor of his society, but his own. This will to be oneself is heroism  (Ancestors Quotes) My first advice on how not to grow old would be to choose you ancestors carefully  (Ancestors Quotes) If you know from history the danger, then part of the danger is over because it may not take you by surprise as it did your ancestors  (Ancestors Quotes) In a state of tranquility, wealth, and luxury, our descendants would forget the arts of war and the noble activity and zeal which made their ancestors invincible. Every art of corruption would be employed to loosen the bond of union which renders our resistance formidable. When the spirit of liberty which now animates our hearts and gives success to our arms is extinct, our numbers will accelerate our ruin and render us easier victims to tyranny  (Ancestors Quotes) That’s why we sail. So our children can grow up and be proud of whom they are. We are healing our souls by reconnecting to our ancestors. As we voyage we are creating new stories within the tradition of the old stories, we are literally creating a new culture out of the old  (Ancestors Quotes) Art is viable when it finds elements in the surrounding environment. Our ancestors drew their subject matter from the religious attitudes which weighed on their souls. We must now learn to draw inspiration from the tangible miracles around us  (Ancestors Quotes) What is birth to a man if it shall be a stain to his dead ancestors to have left such an offspring?  (Ancestors Quotes) A man’s life from birth to death was a series of transition rites which brought him nearer and nearer to his ancestors  (Ancestors Quotes) The wisdom of our parents, grandparents, ancestors. In each individual life, it seems, we must first reject that wisdom, then later come to appreciate it  (Ancestors Quotes) The voices of our ancestors telling of our glorious past, our culture, and what it means to be an Indian  (Ancestors Quotes) Creeds and causal systems have argued with each other for millennia, and even so we and our ancestors have managed to live in a world of differing opinions. Philosophical disputes don’t often affect the price of fish or wine  (Ancestors Quotes) I dream of songs. I dream they fall down through the centuries, from my distant ancestors, and come to me. I dream of lullabies and sea shanties and keening cries and rhythms and stories and backbeats  (Ancestors Quotes) Food binds us to our roots as strongly as any song or poem. Many of us have learned more about our ancestors in the kitchen than we ever will from a book  (Ancestors Quotes) I know it sounds hard to believe, but habits laid down by our ancestors persist even after the conditions that created those habits have gone away  (Ancestors Quotes) Most of our ancestors were not perfect ladies and gentlemen. The majority of them weren’t even mammals  (Ancestors Quotes) Its important to remember that we evolved. Now, I know thats a dirty word for some people, but we evolved from common ancestors with the gorillas, the chimpanzee and also the bonobos. We have a common past, and we have a common future  (Ancestors Quotes) You don’t need a grand plan, you don’t need to go back to the ancestors and rewrite the rules. You just need to take small steps and accumulate small wins  (Ancestors Quotes) Life in the twentieth century undeniably has... such richness, joy and adventure as were unknown to our ancestors except in their dreams  (Ancestors Quotes) The breed is more than the pasture. As you know, the cuckoo lays her eggs in any bird’s nest; it may be hatched among blackbirds or robins or thrushes, but it is always a cuckoo.... a man cannot deliver himself from his ancestors  (Ancestors Quotes) We are all motivated far more than we care to admit by characteristics inherited from our ancestors which individual experiences of childhood can modify, repress, or enhance, but cannot erase  (Ancestors Quotes) 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  (Ancestors Quotes) Most of us do more than subsist. From the vantage point of our ancestors, we live lives of almost unimaginable ease. Here again, we have innovation to thank  (Ancestors Quotes) 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  (Ancestors Quotes) How shall a man escape from his ancestors, or draw off from his veins the black drop which he drew from his father’s or mother’s life?  (Ancestors Quotes) If you look deeply into the palm of your hand, you will see your parents and all generations of your ancestors. All of them are alive in this moment. Each is present in your body. You are the continuation of each of these people  (Ancestors Quotes) Birth is nothing without virtue, and we have no claim to share in the glory of our ancestors unless we endeavor to resemble them  (Ancestors Quotes) Much of human history can, I think, be described as a gradual and sometimes painful liberation from provincialism, the emerging awareness that there is more to the world than was generally believed by our ancestors  (Ancestors Quotes) To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child. For what is the worth of human life, unless it is woven into the life of our ancestors by the records of history?  (Ancestors Quotes) Life is surely given us for higher purposes than to gather what our ancestors have wisely thrown away, and to learn what is of no value but because it has been forgotten  (Ancestors Quotes)
