They value themselves much ordspråk

They value themselves much upon their antiquity: The ancient race of their houses, and families, and the like; and above all, upon their ancient heroes: their King Caractacus Owen ap Tudor, Prince Lewellin, and the like noblemen and princes of Britis

Daniel DeFoe (1660-1731)

What is a country without rabbits and partridges? They are among the most simple and indigenous animal products; ancient and venerable families known to antiquity as to modern times; of the very hue and substance of Nature, nearest allied to leaves and to the ground.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days? her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.

Bible

This papyrus is returning the most ancient geographic map of the classical world and helps write new pages of ancient history.

Claudio Gallazzi

“Experts in ancient Greek culture say that people back then didn’t see their thoughts as belonging to them. When ancient Greeks had a thought, it occurred to them as a god or goddess giving an order. Apollo was telling them to be brave. Athena was telling them to fall in love.
Now people hear a commercial for sour cream potato chips and rush out to buy, but now they call this free will.
At least the ancient Greeks were being honest.”

Chuck Palahniuk (1961-)

Even higher critics have often admitted that the tenth chapter of Genesis is a remarkably accurate historical document. There is no comparable catalog of ancient nations available from any other source. It is unparalleled in its antiquity and comprehensiveness.

Henry Morris

Then the king said to the wise men, which knew the times, (for so was the king's manner toward all that knew law and judgment: / And the next unto him was Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, which saw the king's face, and which sat the first in the kingdom;) / What shall we do unto the queen Vashti according to law, because she hath not performed the commandment of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains? / And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the people that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus.

Bible

Ancient, ancient times, ... And here I am, still busier than ever.

Gladys Knight (1944-)

I knew King Hussein, and I know King Abdullah, ... When the king was on his way to die, he chose Abdullah to succeed him not because he was more intelligent than the other princes but because he knew Prince Abdullah would be the toughest of them all if the moment arrived when the Hashemite Kingdom was in danger.

Ehud Barak

We journeyed through ancient China by traveling along the Silk Road on a CD simulation. The girls learned how the 7,000-mile route opened trade between the Far East and the West and connected ancient China to the Roman Empire.

Elizabeth Davis

Whether Hindus or Greeks, Egyptians or Japanese, Chinese, Sumerians, or ancient Americans -- or even Romans, the most "modern" among people of antiquity -- they all placed the Golden Age, the Age of Truth, the rule of Kronos or of Ra or of any other gods on earth -- the glorious beginning of the slow, downward unfurling of history, whatever name it be given -- far behind them in the past.

Savitri Devi

The girls were fascinated to learn how many inventions and technological advancements came from ancient China. The development of writing, the process of printing, and the production of paper from trees all originated in ancient China. Gunpowder, the umbrella and the compass are just a few examples of things that were invented.

Elizabeth Davis

Ancient person, for whom I
All the flattering youth defy,
Long be it ere thou grow old,
Aching, shaking, crazy, cold;
But still continue as thou art,
Ancient person of my heart.

John Wilmot (2nd Earl of Rochester) (1647-1680)

May princes know then that they begin to lose (their) state at that hour in which they begin to break the laws and those customs and usages that are ancient and under which men have lived for a long time

Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527)

The political tradition of ancient thought, filtered in Italy by Machiavelli, says one thing clearly: every prince needs allies, and the bigger the responsibility, the more allies he needs.

Silvio Berlusconi (1936-)
