I want no epitaphs of profound history and all that type of thing. I contributed. I would hope they would say that, and I would hope somebody liked me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'd like my epitaph to read 'Given the amount of time she had, she did the best job she could.' Also that I'm a nice person... and a good mother.
I would want my legacy to be that I was a great son, father and friend.
There are people who will appreciate what I've done, and there will be people who will criticize me. Ultimately history will have the final say.
I hope my greatest contribution will be to try to extract principles of truth that will cause us to live our lives in a more effective way and to advance Jesus' purpose in the world.
Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total; of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.
I want to be remembered as the person who helped us restore faith in ourselves.
I wanted to make some of the really important things of my generation and some of the biggest.
I often wonder what I will be remembered in history for. Scholar? Military hero? Builder?
If I could do anything in my life and be remembered for anything, I would like to be remembered for helping the world see the value of physical engagement with ideas.
I shall always be grateful for this curious love of history, allowing me to spend a lifetime looking back into the past, allowing me to learn from these large figures about the struggle for meaning for life.
