Heirs

Famous quotes containing the word heirs:

    Modern civilization has bred a race with brains like those of rabbits and we who are the heirs of the witch-doctor and the voodoo. We artists who have been so long the despised are about to take over control.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    ...the heirs of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 8:12.

    Let fame, that all hunt after in their lives,
    Live registered upon our brazen tombs,
    And then grace us in the disgrace of death;
    When spite of cormorant devouring Time,
    Th’ endeavor of this present breath may buy
    That honor which shall bate his scythe’s keen edge,
    And make us heirs of all eternity.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
