Susan Hayward Quotes

Who cares about great marks left behind? We have one life... just one. Our life. We have nothing else.

It's more important what you leave to people on this planet. I want my legacy to exist now, currently, not after I'm gone.

When I die, and people realize that I will not be resurrected in three days, they will forget me. That is the way it should be.

Every man dies. Not every man lives.

While we are living in the present, we must celebrate life every day, knowing that we are becoming history with every work, every action, every deed.

The only 'afterlife' is what other people remember of you.

We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.

You make due with the time you have here. Hopefully when you pass on, somebody can look back and say, 'Wow, they made a difference in some kind of way.'
