The traditions of the ordsprog

The traditions of the dead generations weigh like a nightmare upon the living.

Karl Marx mamma (1818-1883)

Society is indeed a contract. It is a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue, and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born.

Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

Edmund Burke

And the other woman said, Nay; but the living is my son, and the dead is thy son. And this said, No; but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son. Thus they spake before the king.

We were working for the living, and now we are working for the dead and the living. It's pretty tough, pulling out dead bodies.

Tradition does not mean that the living are dead, it means that the dead are living.

Harold Macmillan (1894-1986)

People say satire is dead. It's not dead; it's alive and living in the White House.

There's no wound deeper than a pen can give, It makes men living dead, and dead men live

John Taylor (1753-1824)

John Taylor

And he sang every night as he went to bed. 'Let us be happy down here below: the living should live, though the dead be dead.' Said the jolly old pedagogue long ago.

But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, / I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

Trust no future, however pleasant! Let the dead past bury its dead! Act, act in the living present! Heart within and God overhead.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

He is not dead who departs from life with a high and noble fame; but he is dead, even while living, whose brow is branded with infamy.

Excess of grief for the dead is madness; for it is an injury to the living, and the dead know it not

Say: Who gives you sustenance from the heaven and the earth? Or Who controls the hearing and the sight? And Who brings forth the living from the dead, and brings forth the dead from the living? And Who regulates the affairs? Then they will say: Allah. Say then: Will you not then guard (against evil)? / This then is Allah, your true Lord; and what is there after the truth but error; how are you then turned back? / Thus does the word of your Lord prove true against those who transgress that they do not believe.
