At some point, all that remains is your legacy

Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.

~The Sandlot

There’s two dates in time that they’ll carve on your stone

And everyone knows what they mean.

But what’s more important is the time that is known

In that little dash there in between.

~Garth Brooks, Pushin’ Up Daisies

You are remembered for the rules you break.

~Douglas MacArthur

When I’m gone, I wanna leave a legacy
Of love and laughs and honesty behind me.

~Emerson Drive, A Good Man

What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.

~Albert Pike

He said “I’ve been here for all these years
And what I know is this
If you look and listen close
A man will show you what he is.”

~Montgomery Gentry, Tattoos and Scars
