Quote

The lessons of the past should steer us towards ensuring lasting legacies for generations yet to be born.

Presidential legacies are valuable things, too valuable to be left up to historians.

The personal things should be left out of, in my opinion, out of platforms and conventions.

Often we lose our identity trying to please or placate others.

I don't want to lose my name because that's how I know myself. There is a legacy here.

For my name and memory I leave to men's charitable speeches, and to foreign nations and the next ages.

When you write, no matter what, it ends up personal.

Everybody is their own person.

We love those who know the worst of us and don't turn their faces away.
