As to posterity, I may ask (with somebody whom I have forgot) what has — Posterity

"He thinks posterity is a pack-horse, always ready to be loaded."

"Posterity is a most limited assembly. Those gentlemen who reach posterity are not much more numerous than the planets."

"Muore per metà chi lascia un immagine di se stesso nei figli."

"Herself the solitary scion left Of a time-honourd race."

"Our descendants, who will worry very little about our sufferings and will dance on our graves, will laugh at our present ignorance."

"We are always doing, says he, something for Posterity, but I would fain see Posterity do something for us."
