#inheritance

The right of each individual in any relation to secure to himself the full benefits of his intelligence, his capacity, his industry and skill are among the inalienable inheritances of humanity. ↗

I remember as a child of eight being told by a young friend that I had killed Christ. That was news to me. It's a common experience for the Jewish young. Should later generations of Germans be burdened with the guilt arising from the profound inhumanity of their ancestors? Revenge may be sweet, but guilt is non-transferable. Still, hatreds survive with the persistence of cockroaches. ↗

In the world of the Bible, one’s identity and one’s vocation are all bound up in who one’s father is. Men are called “son of” all of their lives (for instance, “the sons of Zebedee” or “Joshua, the son of Nun”). There are no guidance counselors in ancient Canaan or first-century Capernaum, helping “teenagers” decide what they want “to be” when they “grow up.” A young man watches his father, learns from him, and follows in his vocational steps. This is why “the sons of Zebedee” are right there with their father when Jesus finds them, “in their boat mending the nets” (Mark 1:19-20). The inheritance was the engine of survival, passed from father to son, an economic pact between generations. To lose one’s inheritance was to pilfer for survival, to become someone’s slave. ↗

The finest inheritance you can give to a child is to allow it to make its own way, completely on its own feet. ↗

The white man's blood and bones have begotten this bronze race, and bequeathed to it in some degree qualities, tendencies, capabilities, such as are the inheritance of the highest order of human animals. ↗

Let my heiress have full rights, Live in my house, sing songs that I composed. Yet how slowly my strength ebbs, How the tortured breast craves air. The love of my friends, my enemies' rancor And the yellow roses in my bushy garden, And a lover's burning tenderness—all this I bestow upon you, messenger of dawn. Also the glory for which I was born, For which my star, like some whirlwind, soared And now falls. Look, its falling Prophesies your power, love and inspiration. Preserving my generous bequest, You will live long and worthily. Thus it will be. You see, I am content, Be happy, but remember me. ↗

mai intai nu lasati pe nimeni sa va porunceasca si ce sa faceti si ce sa ganditi.Aveti mare grija mai ales ca gandurile sa va ramana neincatusate .Chiar si un om liber poate ,uneori,sa fie legat mai strans decat un sclav.Ascultati-i pe oameni,dar nu va deschideti inima.Aratati-le respect stapanitorilor,dar nu-i urmati orbeste!Ganditi logic si cu bun simt ,dar nu comentati!Nu considerati pe nimeni mai presus de voi , oricare le-ar fi rangul si pozitia.Purtati-va corect cu toti,daca nu, o sa caute sa se razbune pe voi.Ramaneti credinciosi lucrurilor in care credeti si-i ve-ti face astfel pe ceilalti sa va asculte ↗

Have you noticed that life, with murders and catastrophes and fabulous inheritances, happens almost exclusively in newspapers? ↗

I think everybody has their own way of looking at their lives as some kind of pilgrimage. Some people will see their role as a pilgrim in terms of setting up a fine family, or establishing a business inheritance. Everyone's got their own definition. ↗
