"Inheritance taxes are so high that the happiest mourner at a rich man's funeral is usually Uncle Sam."
"There are things in life that science will never be able to see. We have to rely on what has been passed from our ancestors, generation to generation."
"Never say you know a man until you have divided an inheritance with him."
"The word was born in the blood, grew in the dark body, beating, and took flight through the lips and the mouth. Farther away and nearer still, still it came from dead fathers and from wondering races, from lands which had turned to stone, lands weary of their poor tribes, for when grief took to the roads the people set out and arrived and married new land and water to grow their words again. And so this is the inheritance; this is the wavelength which connects us with dead men and the dawning of new beings not yet come to light."
"Say not you know another entirely till you have divided an inheritance with him."
"I wonder if you can refuse to inherit the world."
"Thus the genetic basis to the origin of bird species is to be sought in the inheritance of adult traits that are subject to natural and sexual selection."

"The theory of founder effects does not explain how novel features like plumage traits arise."
"Almost nothing is known from hybridization studies about the inheritance of courtship behavior of females, or of their responsiveness to particular male signals."
"The divergence of songs in the new population away from those in the progenitor population would only be prevented if these processes were balanced by repeated immigration and subsequent breeding: song flow."
"Exchange of breeding individuals between two populations tends to homogenize their gene pools."
"To summarize, the particular song a male sings, and the behavioral responses of females to song and morphological signals, are not genetically inherited in a fixed manner but are determined by learning early in life."
"The independent role of morphology in mate choice is revealed by the rare instances where the usual association between song and morphology is disrupted."
