I just want to do some movies that my children and my grandchildren would be proud of. That's my yardstick.

But I've got to think of myself as the luckiest guy. Robert Johnson only had one album's worth of work as his legacy. That's all that life allowed him.

Everyone throughout the soccer world knows the Cosmos name and the legacy of the players that played for this team previously. They helped establish soccer in America and I'm honored to follow in...

I get as much fan mail today and sign as many autographs as I did when I played. It's mind-boggling to a certain degree.

I'm Muhammad Ali's daughter, but my father and I are very different in that area. I don't necessarily try to put on a show. That's what my father's thing was, and he was great at it. Everything I say...

Men lose all the material things they leave behind them in this world, but they carry with them the reward of their charity and the alms they give. For these, they will receive from the Lord the...

To work hard. To open new doors for our kids, for our grandkids. To renew our spirit. That's what America is about.

It's not like I'm the first man ever to do this, y'know? You gotta go back to Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby and Sammy Davis Jr. Those are people who've done music well and movies well, and y'know, Frank...

Death comes to all, but great achievements build a monument which shall endure until the sun grows cold.

Children touch all of our lives. We all have the opportunity to sow seeds into the next generation, and there's nothing more important that we can leave on this earth than a legacy of faith, hope, and...

It is healthier in any case to write for the adults one's children will become than for the children one's "mature" critics often are.

I don't call it "Life Insurance," I call it "Love Insurance." We buy it because we want to leave a legacy for those we love.

To be remembered is, I think, a basic human right. Not one that occurs to a person when it is there, but like a parched throat in the desert when it is gone.

The legacy we leave behind should be better than the legacy we inherited.

His ghost comes back to be remembered. If he can't be in this life, he procures a way to stay in orbit, and in that way, is never forgotten.

When a writer dies, he becomes his books.

It is permissible even for a dying hero to think before he dies how men will speak of him hereafter. His fame lasts perhaps two thousand years. And what are two thousand years? {asked Mr Ramsay...

They live in human memory, man. That's what keeps them alive.

I came on earth for something, I must do something, and I must live and leave not just anything, but something!

Today and every day, live and lead the memory you want to leave behind.

There has never yet been a person in our history who led a life of ease whose name is worth remembering.

Today our children are our reflection. Tomorrow they will be our shadows.

Can these signs and symbols still speak? Images, memories, stories, and objects all carry the past into the present. As we think about these messages from the past, we might wonder, too, about what...

Live in such a way that when you die you leave God in your will for your children.

In the aftermath, we are because they were.

History will remember you for your accomplishments, not for your ability.

The minimum you should do with your life is to at least reproduce it.

You were born for more than just living in mediocrity and dying after your time here evaporates.

The joy of writing. The power of preserving. Revenge of a mortal hand.

I am telling you that the child will not out live the buildings. Do you understand that whereas women may touch the immortal by giving birth, men - great men - must build monuments and seek fame?
