A quote by Andy Warhol
Living to create an earthly legacy is a shortsighted goal. A wiser use of time is to build an eternal legacy. You weren’t put on earth to be remembered. You were put here to prepare for eternity.
Rick Warren • The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here For?

Paul Graham • How to Do Great Work
“Everything we make, everything we do, is a bid for bearing our transience.” —Maria Popova
If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things worth reading, or do things worth the writing
-Ben Franklin
Either write things worth reading, or do things worth the writing
