Pedigree

Seneca the Younger Philosopher, Statesman

"He who boasts of his pedigree praises that which does not belong to him."

Ralph Waldo Emerson Essayist, Philosopher, Poet

"We love it because it is self dependent, self derived, and therefore of an old immaculate pedigree, even if shown in a young person."

Ovid Poet

"Pedigree and ancestry and what we ourselves have not achieved, I scarcely recognize as our own."

George Herbert Poet

"In great pedigrees there are Governours and Chandlers."
