Billy GrahamIn so far as such developments utilise the natural energy running to waste, as in water power, they may be accounted as pure gain.

Patrick RothfussThree 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.

Ratan TataWhat's the single most important thing to learn from an economics course today? What I tried to leave my students with is the view that the invisible hand is more powerful than the hidden hand. Things will happen in well-organized efforts without direction, controls, plans. That's the consensus among economists. That's the Hayek legacy.
Lawrence SummersLike many Americans, I've always been intrigued by Bill Clinton. I obviously didn't always agree with him - enjoyed running against his legacy in 2000, when Al Gore was his designated successor, but I don't have anything negative I would say about Bill Clinton.

Hans von StorchInherited wealth may be something easily squandered, but inherited poverty is a legacy almost impossible to lose.
Eric L. HaneyDon't follow in my footsteps. Create your own legacy! Be you! Do what you do! Stay focused! Stay positive about whatever goals you want to accomplish!
