Love leaves legacy. How you treated other people, not your wealth or accomplishments, is the most enduring impact you can leave on earth.
If we have loved well while we were alive, there is life after death here-our love will go on for generations.
I think about my father and how sad it was that he never had grandchildren.
It doesn't matter who my father was; it matters who I remember he was.
My name is Jidenna, which means 'to hold or embrace the father' in Igbo. It was my father who gave me this name and who taught me countless parables, proverbs, and principles that made me the man I am today.
When I'm done my mixed martial arts career, the only people who are gonna remember me and respect what I did and how I lived my life are my two children. That's my legacy, ladies and gentlemen.
At times I've got a really big ego. But I'll tell you the best thing about me. I'm some guy's dad; I'm some little gal's dad. When I die, if they say I was Annie's husband and Zachary John and Anna Kate's father, boy, that's enough for me to be remembered by. That's more than enough.
I hope people will like my novels after I'm dead. And I hope my children think about me in good ways, by and large.
As long as we can love each other, and remember the feeling of love we had, we can die without ever really going away. All the love you created is still there. All the memories are still there. You live on—in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nurtured while you were here
When I think about my legacy, I think about the world that we leave behind for our children.
I think it's crucial that we remember the lives of people, not their deaths. Our deaths are not our lives.
The one thing I want to leave my children is an honorable name.
Proud about my father? What am I most proud of? I think I'm proud of the legacy he left I think is what it is. He has left us so much.
I'm very proud of Family Ties. It's meant a lot to a lot of people.
I don't feel like I have a legacy.
My grandfather died when I was 12, but I remember the sorrow of my mother. Even now, she's an old lady, but when she speaks about her father, she looks young. A love like that is undefeated, you know?
It's not what you take when you leave this world behind you. It's what you leave behind you when you go.
People have told me, 'My dad passed on, but I have great memories of watching your shows with him.' It doesn't get any better than that.
I think legacies are most meaningful with the impressions that a person can leave on a group of people.
Life and love would go on. Even though it would happen without me, the idea brought me joy.
I never saw my dad cry. My son saw me cry. My dad never told me he loved me, and consequently I told Scott I loved him every other minute. The point is, I'll make less mistakes than my dad, my sons hopefully will make less mistakes than me, and their sons will make less mistakes than their dads.
My father always used to say that when you die, if you've got five real friends, then you've had a great life.
One of the great many things I love about being a father is sharing my beloved childhood experiences with my kids.
You cannot be a famous human being to your children.
My late grandfather, rest in peace, he was the biggest Knicks fan and he always told me I'd play for the Knicks, so it would mean a lot for me to play for the team.
