“We must begin thinking like a river if we are to leave a legacy of beauty and life for future generations.”

“If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them more than the miracles of technology. We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it.”

“Whatever we wish to achieve in the future, it must begin by knowing where we are in the present- not where we wish we were, or where we wish others to think we are, but where we are in fact.”

“Because we don't think about future generations, they will never forget us.”

“The choices we make about the lives we live determine the kinds of legacies we leave.”

“We want to leave a legacy with who we are and what we do. We want to grow a life that matters. We can. When we eat a diet of fruit and serve up that diet to those around us, we can grow a life that matters.”
