Popular quotes about Legacy! Wisdom and inspiration are here! | page 42
What is your legacy? Are you intentional about the sort of influence you want to have on the world around you?

No matter how big or small of a role model, there's someone watching you. There's a life that you can change. There's a life that you can impact.

Chris BrownIn verity we are the poor. This humanity we would claim for ourselves is the legacy, not only of the Enlightenment, but of the thousands and thousands of European peasants and poor townspeople who came here bringing their humanity and their sufferings with them. It is the absence of a stable upper class that is responsible for much of the vulgarity of the American scene. Should we blush before the visitor for this deficiency?

Charles S. MaierThree explanations dominate speculation about what Obama is up to. The first is that he's trying to lay the groundwork for his successor, presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton. The second is that he's trying to pad his legacy. The third is that he's trying to 'troll' or bait the GOP into debating his agenda rather than pursuing its own. All are plausible, and none necessarily contradicts the others.

Robin WilliamsNo, itโs very comforting actually, to know that youโre sitting in a long legacy of actresses whoโve played the role. Iโm absolutely all for absorbing all of those influences, so you understand the pedigree of the part as much as you understand the figure in historyโฆ because you are playing the part. You donโt say: โGosh, I want to play Peter Sellersโฆโ because you can sort of do that in your own bathroom.

Wernher von BraunThere are two visions of America. One precedes our founding fathers and finds its roots in the harshness of our Puritan past. It is very suspicious of freedom, uncomfortable with diversity hostile to science, unfriendly to reason, contemptuous of personal autonomy. It sees America as a religious nation. It views patriotism as allegiance to God. It secretly adores coercion and conformity. Despite our constitution, despite the legacy of the Enlightenment, it appeals to millions of Americans and threatens our freedom.
Sherwin WineOn the policy front, I just believe that Barack Obama was misguided. That he somehow sees this country as being in need of a drastic overhaul. What he tried to do actually hurt the country rather than helped it and the best example is Obamacare. It's a good idea to insure people who can't or won't buy insurance but you can't punish the working class to make it happen, which he did. Now everybody's paying higher premiums and more deductibles that's coming out of working people's pockets and that's one of the reasons that his legacy has been refuted.

Joseph KosinskiIf you have an effect that nobody can replicate, then your phenomenon fades away. So if you want to to have a legacy, then you jolly well better have an effect that replicates.

Michael JacksonThis president Barack Obama has done more for the LGBT community than any president in history. It's just an objective fact.

GinuwineThe idea itself, the notion of what the next Tron could be, is exciting enough that it would be worth going back to do it. Obviously we hinted some things at the end of Legacy, it's kind of there for people to see what that potential is. So we just want to make sure that we have a script that delivers on that promise on an epic scale."
Joseph KosinskiMartin Luther King's legacy is never to be measured by bricks and mortar, but rather by the kind of lives that we live, and the kind of love and service that we render.
