Respect for the truth comes close to being the basis for all morality. Something cannot emerge from nothing.

He had become, through a combination of heritage and character, a keeper of the national conscience.

What should our second generation have done, what should it do with the knowledge of the horrors of the extermination of the Jews? We should not believe we can comprehend the incomprehensible, we may not compare the incomparable, we may not inquire because to inquire is to make the horrors an object of discussion, even if the horrors themselves are not questioned, instead of accepting them as something in the face of which we can only fall silent in revulsion, shame and guilt. Should we only fall silent in revulsion, shame and guilt? To what purpose?

When we don__ care about what our government is doing, we are also saying to the next generation that we are not interested in the possible burdens that we are passing on to them.

They all had defining color running through their gray existence.

Carve your name on hearts, not tombstones. A legacy is etched into the minds of others and the stories they share about you.

Every country has a cultural legacy and religious practices for reasons that I don__ believe fall under the category of superstition, something that a religious scholar should understand.

I__e been thinking a lot about legacies lately. Life seems to be a waste without someone to share it with and even more so when there__ no one to benefit from your efforts when you__e gone. Sort of makes you want to throw your hands up in the air and stop working. Luckily, that feeling forces you to focus more on today_ even if only to avoid being depressed while thinking about an empty, distant tomorrow. What can I do today to enrich others? What can I share with the people I encounter today?

Closing the deal is not just selling, it is MOVING people from where they are to where they should be; helping them make the right choices and take action toward their financial freedom, peace of mind, and legacy.

Someone is closing deals today, regardless of the weather, economy, politics, or any other excuses. Get out there and add value to people's lives by helping them move forward toward their financial freedom, peace of mind, and legacy.

The planting of a tree, especially one of the long-living hardwood trees, is a gift which you can make to posterity at almost no cost and with almost no trouble, and if the tree takes root it will far outlive the visible effect of any of your other actions, good or evil.

I also remember being struck by de Sade's will, in which he asked that his ashes be scattered to the four corners of the earth in the hope that humankind would forget both his writings and his name. I'd like to be able to make that demand; commemorative ceremonies are not only false but dangerous, as are all statues of famous men. Long live forgetfulness, I've always said__he only dignity I see is in oblivion.

The light of a great man shines for generations to come.

When now we turn and look five miles above, there on the edge of town are five houses of prostitutes,__wo of blacks and three of whites; and in one of the houses of the whites a worthless black boy was harbored too openly two years ago; so he was hanged for rape. And here, too, is the high whitewashed fence of the "stockade," as the county prison is called; the white folks say it is ever full of black criminals,__he black folks say that only colored boys are sent to jail, and they not because they are guilty, but because the State needs criminals to eke out its income by their forced labor.

A personal journey is part of the generational relay. Live your legacy then pass it on.

Adams looks forward to teaching his granddaughters about planting trees, noting that they already show inclination toward this and need only be encouraged in the naturalist pursuits he has found so healthy.

Being a father, having an heir, seem to add an extra dimension to David. He had always been of vivid, animating presence in any room he entered. But now he would come from visiting the boy crackling with even greater energy and force. He had been engaged listener, ready to learn what any man might have to offer in discussion, but now there was an additional depth to his questions, a more far-reaching vision behind his decisions. He thought now beyond the span of years, and into a future that glistened ahead into centuries. It's one thing, I suppose, to have a prophet tell you that you will found a dynasty. Now, it seemed, he allowed himself to truly believe it.

On the occasion of Mahatma Gandhi's birthday, I salute every individual who honors the core values of his legacy, making him proud of humanity.
