There are only two lasting bequests we can give our children…one is roots, the other wings.
– Stephen Covey
To live; to love; to learn; and to leave a legacy”
– Stephen Covey
I may be here for a
short while, gone tomorrow into oblivion or until the days come to take me away. But, in whatever part you play, be remembered
as part of a legacy...of sharing dreams and changing humanity for the better. It’s that legacy that never dies…

We can’t all leave a prestigious background
or lots of money to…our children, but we can leave them a legacy of love.

“A hundred years from now it will not matter what my
bank account was, the sort
of house I lived in, or
the kind of car I drove... but the world may be different
because I was important in the
life of a child.”
(though, I don’t know the author)
It is up to us to live up to the
legacy that was left for us, and to leave a legacy that is worthy of our children and of future generations.
– Christine Gregoire
Chilren…are our legacy. Our
responsibility. They are our destiny and we are theirs. The extent to which we fail as parents, we fail as God’s children.
– Dirk Benedict
Legacy: anything handed down from the past,
as from an ancestor or predecessor.
– Webster's Dictionary
