From Barres

.… we are the extension over time of our ancestors…. We are the product of a collective life which speaks in us…. May the influence of our ancestors be permanent, the sons of the soil vital and upstanding, the nation one.Maurice Barrès

(I lifted this quote from Tendance Coatsey, an excellently written and always interesting “Left Socialist Blog” from the UK, with which, however, I usually disagree deeply.)
