Inherit Quotations
Only the man who does not need it, is fit to inherit wealth, the man who would make his fortune no matter where he started.
Ayn Rand
In a time of drastic change it is the learners who inherit the future. The learned usually find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists.
Eric Hoffer
In times of change learners inherit the earth; while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.
Eric Hoffer
To kill a relative of whom you are tired is something. But to inherit his property afterwards, that is genuine pleasure.
Honore de Balzac
If there is anybody in this land who thoroughly believes that the meek shall inherit the earth they have not often let their presence be known.

It is the youth who must inherit the tribulation, the sorrow... that are the aftermath of war.
Herbert Hoover
The aftermath of the war is what inspired us to write many of our plays. The whole reason for our writing Inherit the Wind was that we were appalled at the blacklisting. We were appalled at thought control.
Jerome Lawrence
In no instance is there to be a musical or opera of Inherit the Wind because it doesn't sing. It's an intellectual play.
Jerome Lawrence
The meek shall inherit the Earth, but not its mineral rights.
J. Paul Getty
