Do not go where the path may lead,
go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Try not to become a man of success
but rather try to become a man of value.

A man finds room in the few square inches of his face for the traits of all his ancestors;
for the expression of all his history, and his wants.

Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose.

Happy of unhappy, families are mysterious. We have only to imagine how differently we would be described - and will be, after our deaths - by each of the family members who believe they know us.

What lies behind you and what lies in front of you,
pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.

A personal journey is part of the generational relay.
Live your legacy and then pass it on.

Who we are takes generations to create
and doesn't end with death.

It's important to teach our children their heritage. Who are your ancestors? What were their traditions? Each of us has a story to tell.
If these stories are unwritten, then how are your children going to know of their parentage?

What the next generation will value most is not what we owned, but the evidence of who we were and the tales of how we lived. In the end, it's the family stories that are worth the storage.
