I am told one of your forebears made a hobby of bonfires.

The Government supports cultural, spiritual and linguistic ties between citizens from other national origins and the countries of their forebears.

Well, I think the first thing is that it reminds us just how resourceful people were, our forebears were, years and years ago.

So, one of my most illustrious forebears at Manchester University, Ernest Rutherford, discoverer of the atomic nucleus, once said, All science is either physics or stamp collecting.

Moreover, failing to educate younger generations about the true horror of the war deprives them of the right to know the truth about their forebears that they rightfully deserve.

For those with the skills, capital, and savvy to prosper in the post industrial age, services offered inordinate opportunities. Bankers, consultants, and engineers earned much higher wages than their industrial age forebears.

But we have an opportunity to act. Unlike our forebears, who did very little or nothing about urban heat islands, we are in a good position to tackle many of their effects.

the Gardens of Eden, which they will enter along with whoever is righteous from among their forebears, their spouses, and their descendants, and the angels will call on them from every door

Our Lord! Admit them into the Gardens of Eden, which You have promised them, along with whoever is righteous among their forebears, their spouses and their descendants. Indeed You are the All mighty, the All wise.

Even as temperatures have risen, heat related deaths have decreased, owing to improved health care, access to medical facilities, and air conditioning. We have far more money and much greater technological ability to adapt than our forebears ever did.

What are the limits of jus sanguinis in an armed conflict when it is invoked by persons who are paid and sent to fight in a domestic or international armed conflict taking place in the country of their forebears?

Many Japanese, whose forebears ravaged the country in World War II, now profess a romantic sentimentality toward Myanmar. Yohei Sasakawa of the Nippon Foundation remembers eating rice shipped from the country in the lean years after the war in Japan.

Putin is now making the same mistake as his Soviet forebears. Despite his 2013 declaration that Russia should be focusing on the literate use of soft power, he failed to capitalize on the soft power boost afforded to Russia by hosting the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi.

Then there is the issue of the Alevis, a religious minority linked to Sufism and Shi ism. The Alevis, who had been protected by the secular Kemalist state, deeply distrust Erdoğan, who further unsettled them by planning to name a new bridge over the Bosphorus after a sixteenth century sultan who massacred their forebears.

Similar arguments have been raised again recently. Writers Parag Khanna and Fareed Zakaria have regurgitated those made by Kennedy, Nye, and forebears like Hedley Bull in asserting that the US must lead the world away from a new medievalism amid the rise of the rest and the relative stagnation of the West.

A gathering of the modern equivalents of Metternich, Castlereagh, Alexander I, and Talleyrand is also a dream there are none. But, in confronting today s growing disorder and escalating violence, the leaders we have would do well to draw some inspiration from their forebears, who 200 years ago this week opened the way to nearly a century of peace.

An academic paper published last year makes the point clear in its title Large scale bioenergy from additional harvest of forest biomass is neither sustainable nor greenhouse gas neutral. Its authors point out that while the Industrial Revolution caused climate change, reliance on coal was actually good for forests, because our forebears stopped raiding forests for wood.

Likewise, though Europe s populists use their opposition to Brussels as a rallying flag, their ideology retains the atavism that motivated their forebears. Today s far right forces may be more anti Muslim than anti Semitic Wilders may even be sincerely pro Israel but they maintain the anti humanist, cynical, and racist worldview of their predecessors in the 1930 s.

But the notables among his people had refused to believe, and said This is none other than a mortal like yourselves who desires to attain superiority over you. Had Allah wanted (to send any Messengers) He would have sent down angels. We have heard nothing like this in the time of our forebears of old (that humans were sent as Messengers).

As obvious as this conclusion might seem, the world has taken millennia to reach it and, in many ways, has yet to accept it fully. Nonetheless, we can now collectively look back at our slave owning, wife beating, child brutalizing, heretic burning, colonizing forebears and wonder how even the most profoundly moral among them failed to see that they should not behave that way.

The American author Thomas Friedman, in his recent book The World Is Flat, highlights an extraordinary anomaly it was the Arab peoples whose forebears devised algebra and the algorithms upon which our entire digital age is based, but those peoples are now right at the rear of today's technological revolution, with, for example, fewer than 2 per cent of those populations having Internet access.
