I dont know that the United States is Gods Country, but the church has been so strong here, and because of its influence, we hold life to be sacred and we believe that individuals have dignity. This is part of our legacy.

If your life is motivated by your ambition to leave a legacy, what you'll probably leave as a legacy is ambition.

I think, you know, the thing everybody really wants to know anyway is not what the theory of relativity is, but I think what we all really want to know anyways, is whether we're loved or not.

I hope I would leave a legacy of joy -a legacy of real compassion.
