#legacy

When her work is done, she forgets it. That is why it lasts forever.

The greatest tragedy of the family is the unlived lives of the parents.

The measure of life is not its duration, but its donation.

The fragrance of virtue spreads far beyond the flowers.

Let my thoughts come to you, when I am gone, like the afterglow of sunset at the margin of quiet skies.

The one who plants trees, knowing that he will never sit in their shade, has at least started to understand the meaning of life.

The greatest song is the one that echoes in the heart after the music ceases.

Let your legacy be defined by the lives you touched, the problems you solved, and the hope you inspired.

If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if in terms of ten years, plant trees; if in terms of 100 years, teach the people.

Let my thoughts come to you, when I am gone, like the afterglow of sunset at the margin of quiet skies.

If you want one year of prosperity, plant seeds. If ten years, plant trees. If a hundred years, cultivate people.

One generation plants the cedar trees; another generation enjoys the shade.

A drop of pure ink from a righteous pen can make a million minds contemplate eternity.

The companion of true virtue is eternal honor.

Cattle die, kinsmen die, and you yourself must die; but the fair fame of an honorable life never dies.

In our every deliberation, we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations.

When you were born, you cried while the whole village rejoiced; live your life so that when you die, the village weeps while you rejoice.

Our greatest responsibility is to be good ancestors.

Let parents bequeath to their children not riches, but the spirit of reverence.
