Forefathers

"Fourscore and seven years ago, our forefathers owned a bunch of scrubs." "Harkinian, that's not right and you know it." "Quiet! I'm enjoying my tale, so let me tell my story."

I will also remind you of the dangers of your forefathers.

Don't be disgraced like the young Romans, who lost the Empire of their forefathers by being wishy-washy slackers without any go or patriotism in them.

"Did grandfather and grandmother always live in this city?" "Yes, and also their forefathers."

Our forefathers would not have given the name of Senate to our supreme council if they did not see in the elders the virtues of prudence, common sense and reason.

If humanity's material life becomes richer year by year, cakes become more and more elaborate, technology becomes more and more convenient, and at the same time, without earlier generations planting trees, later generations would not be able to enjoy their shade, then I am sure that the "rich" life must've been brought about by our industrious forefathers, those who were unafraid to taste the bitterness of hardship.

Indeed, by now, although the god of the Shepherds was Baal, to whom they gave the name of Set because already it was well known upon the Nile, the Shepherd kings re-built the temples of Ra and Amun and Ptah, of Isis and of Hathor, that their forefathers had destroyed when first they invaded Egypt, and themselves made offerings in them, acknowledging these divinities.

When I'm not in the land of my forefathers, I miss it, but when I'm at home, I think about traveling again.

The forefathers passed it down this way.
