Proverbs, aphorisms, quotations (English) by Linux fortune

When we are planning for posterity, we ought to remember that virtue is
not hereditary.
                -- Thomas Paine
First Law of Socio-Genetics:
        Celibacy is not hereditary.
Optimism, n.:
        The belief that everything is beautiful, including what is ugly, good,
        bad, and everything right that is wrong.  It is held with greatest
        tenacity by those accustomed to falling into adversity, and most
        acceptably expounded with the grin that apes a smile.  Being a blind
        faith, it is inaccessible to the light of disproof -- an intellectual
        disorder, yielding to no treatment but death.  It is hereditary, but
        not contagious.
Fertility is hereditary.  If your parents didn't have any children,
neither will you.
Insanity is hereditary.  You get it from your kids.
