Honor, justice, and humanity, forbid us tamely to surrender that freedom which we received from our gallant ancestors, and which our innocent posterity have a right to receive from us  (Ancestors Quotes) I would like to be like my father and all the rest of my ancestors who never married  (Ancestors Quotes) Our ancestors are totally essential to our every waking moment, although most of us don’t even have the faintest idea about their lives, their trials, their hardships or challenges  (Ancestors Quotes) I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors  (Ancestors Quotes) Frankly, our ancestors don’t seem much to brag about. I mean, look at the state they left us in, with the wars, the broken planet. Clearly, they didn’t care about what would happen to the people who came after them  (Ancestors Quotes) The price we have paid for expecting to be so much more than our ancestors is a perpetual anxiety that we are far from being all we might be  (Ancestors Quotes) If we are to make progress, we must not repeat history but make new history.

And by so doing, they stopped that endless vicious cycle of murder and revenge  (Ancestors Quotes) No mariner ever enters upon a more uncharted sea than does the average human being born in the 20th century. Our ancestors know their way from birth through eternity; we are puzzled about the day after tomorrow  (Ancestors Quotes) I found that they knew but little of the history of their race, and could be entertained by stories about their ancestors as readily as any way  (Ancestors Quotes) We have either to progress or to degenerate. Our ancestors did great things in the past, but we have to grow into a fuller life and march beyond even their great achievements  (Ancestors Quotes) Let every man remind their descendants that they also are soldiers who must not desert the ranks of their ancestors, or from cowardice fall behind  (Ancestors Quotes) He only deserves to be remembered by posterity who treasures up and preserves the history of his ancestors  (Ancestors Quotes) When a man is at peace with his gods and ancestors, his harvest will be good or bad according to the strength of his arm  (Ancestors Quotes) We talk much more about individualism and liberty than our ancestors. But as so often happens, when anything becomes conscious, the consciousness is compensatory for absence in practice  (Ancestors Quotes) Those who depend on the merits of their ancestors may be said to search in the roots of the tree for those fruits which the branches ought to produce  (Ancestors Quotes) Not only does democracy make every man forget his ancestors, but also clouds their view of their descendants and isolates them from their contemporaries. Each man is for ever thrown back on himself alone, and there is danger that he may be shut up in the solitude of his own heart  (Ancestors Quotes) My son, be worthy of your noble name, worthily borne by your ancestors for over five hundred years. Remember it’s by courage, and courage alone, that a nobleman makes his way nowadays. Don’t be afraid of opportunities, and seek out adventures. My son, all I have to give you is fifteen ecus, my horse, and the advice you’ve just heard. Make the most of these gifts, and have a long, happy life  (Ancestors Quotes) It does not follow, because our ancestors made so many errors of fact and mixed them with their religion, that we should therefore leave off being religious at all. By being religious we establish ourselves in possession of ultimate reality at the only points at which reality is given us to guard. Our responsible concern is with our private destiny, after all  (Ancestors Quotes) We are so used to the notion of our own inevitability as life’s dominant species that it is hard to grasp that we are here only because of timely extraterrestrial bangs and other random flukes. The one thing we have in common with all other living things is that for nearly four billions years our ancestors have managed to slip through a series of closing doors every time we needed them to  (Ancestors Quotes) In childhood our credulity serves us well. It helps us to pack, with extraordinary rapidity, our skulls full of the wisdom of our parents and our ancestors. But if we don’t grow out of it in the fullness of time, our... nature makes us a sitting target for astrologers, mediums, gurus, evangelists, and quacks. We need to replace the automatic credulity of childhood with the constructive skepticism of adult science  (Ancestors Quotes) If the work of the city is the remaking or translating of man into a more suitable form than his nomadic ancestors achieved, then might not our current translation of our entire lives into the spiritual form of information seem to make of the entire  (Ancestors Quotes) Every breath is a sacrament, an affirmation of our connection with all other living things, a renewal of our link with our ancestors and a contribution to generations yet to come. Our breath is a part of life’s breath, the ocean of air that envelopes the earth  (Ancestors Quotes) We notice that the mind is a restless bird; the more it gets the more it wants, and still remains unsatisfied. The more we indulge our passions the more unbridled they become. Our ancestors, therefore, set a limit to our indulgences. They saw that happiness was largely a mental condition.

Our ancestors knew this and embraced the natural cures found in the bosoms of the earth. Their classroom was nature.
