Quotations for hereditary

Virtue is not hereditary. [ Thomas Paine ]

He loves his old hereditary trees. [ Cowley ]

Nobility should be elective, not hereditary. [ Zimmermann ]

Hereditary honours are a noble and a splendid treasure to descendants. [ Plato ]

To be proud of an hereditary title, is to rant it in a dead man's clothes. [ Proverb ]

It is, indeed, a blessing, when the virtues of noble races are hereditary; and do derive themselves from the imitation of virtuous ancestors. [ Nabb ]

When you leave the unimpaired hereditary freehold to your children, you do but half your duty. Both liberty and property are precarious, unless the possessors have sense and spirit enough to defend them. [ Junius ]

Ask men of genius how much they owe to their mothers, and you will find that they attribute almost all to them and their influence; and if we could only guage the mental capacity of the wives of great men, we might perhaps learn why genius is so seldom hereditary. [ Lord Kames ]

Cheeriness is a thing to be more profoundly grateful for than all that genius ever inspired or talent ever accomplished. Next best to natural, spontaneous cheeriness is deliberate, intended and persistent cheeriness, which we can create, can cultivate and can so foster and cherish that after a few years the world will never suspect that it was not an hereditary gift. [ Helen Hunt Jackson ]
