“I had an inheritance from my father,
It was the moon and the sun.
And though I roam all over the world,
The spending of it’s never done.”
― Ernest Hemingway, For Whom the Bell Tolls

“Who is it who decides that one man should live and another should die? My life wasn't worth any more than his, but he's the one who's buried, while I get to enjoy at least a few more hours above the ground. Is it chance, random and cruel, or is there some purpose or pattern to all this, even if it lies beyond our ken?”
― Christopher Paolini, Inheritance

“As he was about to leave, she said, "Murtagh."
He paused and turned to regard her.
She hesitated for a moment, then mustered her courage and said, "Why?" She thought he understood her meaning: Why her? Why save her, and now why try to rescue her? She had guessed at the answer, but she wanted to hear him say it.
He stared at her for the longest while, and then, in a low, hard voice, he said, "You know why.”
― Christopher Paolini, Inheritance

“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a married man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of an heir.”
― Julia Quinn, The Duke and I

“He was my father. I own half his genes, and all of his history. Believe this: the mistakes are part of the story. I am born of a man who believed he could tell nothing but the truth, while he set down for all time the Poisonwood Bible.”
― Barbara Kingsolver, The Poisonwood Bible

“On the beach, Roran stood alone, watching them go. Then he threw back his head and uttered a long, aching cry, and the night echoed with the sound of his loss.”
― Christopher Paolini, Inheritance

“Take care of your costume and your confidence will take care of itself.”
― Amit Kalantri, Wealth of Words

“History is hereditary only in this way: we, all of us, inherit everything, and then we choose what to cherish, what to disavow, and what do do next, which is why it's worth trying to know where things come from.”
― Jill Lepore

“What a strange expression said the herbalist who would compare themselves to chopped liver in the first place? If you have to to choose an organ why not pick a gallbladder or a thymus gland instead? Much more interesting than a liver. Or what about chopped t-”

“I remember Mum repeatedly telling us we had good hearts and good brains. When she said that we'd say 'thanks' and it might have sounded as if we were thanking her for seeing us that way but actually we were thanking her for giving us whatever goodness was in us.”
― Helen Oyeyemi, What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours

“On Caladan, we ruled with sea and air power," the Duke said. "Here, we must scrabble for desert power. This is your inheritance, Paul.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune

“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.”
― Anna Akhmatova, The Complete Poems of Anna Akhmatova

“What are the chances that we will one day discover that DNA has absolutely nothing to do with inheritance? They are effectively zero.”
― Sam Harris, The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason

“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 ofâ€� all of their lives (for instance, “the sons of Zebedeeâ€� or “Joshua, the son of Nunâ€�). There are no guidance counselors in ancient Canaan or first-century Capernaum, helping “teenagersâ€� decide what they want “to beâ€� when they “grow up.â€� A young man watches his father, learns from him, and follows in his vocational steps. This is why “the sons of Zebedeeâ€� are right there with their father when Jesus finds them, “in their boat mending the netsâ€� (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.”
― Russell D. Moore, Adopted for Life: The Priority of Adoption for Christian Families & Churches

“How delightful! Dunford had just come into an unexpected inheritance. She rather hoped it was something good. One of her friends had just unwillingly inherited thirty-seven cats.”
― Julia Quinn, Minx

“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.”
― Sid Fleischman, The Entertainer and the Dybbuk

“Imagine there is no God. There is no Heaven or Hell. There is only your son and his son and his son, and the world you leave for them.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Adjustment Day

“Devise some creed, and live it, beyond theirs,
Or I shall think you but their spendthrift heirs.”
― Edmund Blunden

“Except for the rare cases of plastid inheritance, the inheritance of all known cofactors can be sufficiently accounted for by the presence of genes in the chromosomes. In a word the cytoplasm may be ignored genetically.”
― Thomas Hunt Morgan

“Kinder lieben ihre Eltern zuerst. Nach einer Weile beurteilen sie sie. Selten, wenn je, verzeihen sie ihnen.”
― Oscar Wilde, A Woman of No Importance

“Heritage was everything: it was a golden skeleton key, gleaming with power, able to get the wielder through any number of locked doors; it was the christening of the marriage bed with virgin blood on snow-white sheets; it was the benediction of a pristine pedigree, refined through ages of selective breeding and the occasional mercy culling.

It was life, and death, and all that spanned between.

It was his birthright.”
― Nenia Campbell, Black Beast

“Delaying giving as a strategy for future kingdom building is risky. We could hold on to assets out of fear of letting go or unwillingness to surrender control to the Lord. As long as money lies within our grasp, there's not only the danger that we'll lose the assets, but also that we'll change our minds or be seduced by the status, prestige, and recognition of controlling (or having our name attached to the distribution of) what belongs to God.”
― Randy Alcorn, Money, Possessions, and Eternity: A Comprehensive Guide to What the Bible Says about Financial Stewardship, Generosity, Materialism, Retirement, Financial Planning, Gambling, Debt, and More

“I'm made through the image and likeness of the Supreme God so in his image and likeness, I AM Supreme.”
― Jose R. Coronado, The Land Flowing With Milk And Honey

“A tragic inheritance- seeing your mother’s flaws pop up in yourself and having the awareness to know it but no idea how to stop it.”
― Hannah Nicole Maehrer, Apprentice to the Villain

“We want to pass things down. We want heirs, and if I cannot have heirs of blood then I want heirs of spirit; I want you, when you are grown, when I am gone, to have parts of me.”
― S. Bear Bergman, Butch Is a Noun

“Yes. Do pass it on. But not all of it. Don’t pass the pain on.”
― George Hammond

“Your kids are your priority, as they are the future of your genetics.”
― Steven Magee

“Through the storm of modern dilemmas, Donald Trump stands as the beacon of tradition, safeguarding our future and the sanctity of family, ensuring that the breath of freedom will be inherited by our grandchildren. His voluntary crusade against the tides of disruptive ideologies is not just leadership - it's a legacy in the making.”
― Guru Z.S. Gill

“Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but Diamonds is our inheritance.”
― Dipti Dhakul, Quote: +/-

“It’s often observed that individuals within the same family bear striking resemblances, passing down features such as the curve of a mouth or the hue of hair, even the warmth of a smile from one generation to the next. Curiously, though, mortals very rarely inherit the memories of their ancestors. This absence of memories makes it all too simple, at times, for one to overlook or disconnect from their heritage, as if the threads of lineage and legacy can be easily loosened by the passage of time. And the essence of one’s forgotten heritage continues to flow within each person’s veins like poison.
