"To forget one's ancestors is to be a brook without a source, a tree without a root."

~Chinese proverb~

„To co weszł‚o w zwyczaj niech zwyczajem zostanie, a to, co było, coś›my od ojców zasłyszeli, lub sami jeszcze widzieli, przekażmy tym, co po nas przyjdą pomni, że gdzie była przeszł‚ość, tam i przyszł‚ość‡ bę™dzie…” – Leon Potocki 1854 r.
"What has become a habit let it remain a habit, and this, what was, what we heard from our fathers, or we have seen already by ourselves, pass to those who will come after us; remembering that where the past was, there, also, the future will be..." – Leon Potocki 1854.
