“A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.”

“A life isn't significant except for its impact on other lives.”

“After all is said and done, a life isn’t significant except for its impact on other lives.”

“Echo of your thoughts are more important than your actions because that has greater impact on the world.”

“I might face death any minute now! But I should try not to put myself in harms' way as long as I can live. Of course it is not important if I die, because this is going to happen anyway. I know my purpose, my purpose is: How will my life or death impact the lives of others?”

“That's the way it works in movies. Something happens that has an impact on someone's life, and based on that impact, his life shifts course. Well, that's not how it happens in life. Something has an impact on you, and then your life stays the same, and you think, 'Well, what about the impact?' You have epiphanies all the time. They just don't have any effect.”
