“We actually eat less than our ancestors, despite the fact that we eat more than we should. Since we expend so much less energy than prior generations, we need fewer calories. And when you take in fewer calories, you usually take in fewer nutrients. We also eat more high-calorie foods with poor nutritional value, like chips, and fewer nutrient-rich foods, like fruits and vegetables.”
David Katz
“Our fishy ancestors had the anatomy for it. You can imagine how valuable this system would be if you were aquatic, because water is so conductive. But it doesn't work on land - air doesn't conduct electricity as well. When it happens, it's called a lightning bolt and you don't need special receptors to sense it.”
James Albert
“The best part about Genealogy is searching for ancestors and finding friends”

Richard Dawkins
“We're lucky our ancestors came here. It makes you realize the sacrifices they experienced.”

“I don't feel like it's right because I feel like all our ancestors came over here and they had to become legal citizens. Why shouldn't every one else? I don't care who you are.”
Wanda Peterson
“To say we're digging up the bones of their ancestors is offensive, when they know we're not.”
D. Rahn Hostetter
“It's for no one to disturb another's grave, our ancestors resting site.”
Armand Minthorn
“Those who chant are sanctified. All those who listen are blessed, and those who write save their ancestors.”
Sri Guru Granth Sahib
