Quotemeal: Oct. 15th, 1959

Thursday, October 15, 1959

"Many people spend their lives trying to create a lasting legacy on earth. They want to be remembered when they're gone.

What people fail to realize is that all achievements are eventually surpassed, records are broken, reputations fade, and tributes are forgotten."
— Rick Warren
