Robert Louis Stevenson Quotes

Steve Sanders lives on in our hearts and in our minds.

I've seen the video played over and over, and it replays in my head constantly. To be able to walk in his exact footsteps is an extremely huge honor, and I did this for him as much as I did it for my family to get some closure too.

The marble keeps merely a cold and sad memory of a man who would else be forgotten. No man who needs a monument ever ought to have one.

The need has gone; the memorial thereof remains.

But monument themselves memorials need.

A remembrance can mean nothing to the one remembered; it can only remind the ones left behind how little they did while you were still alive.

I told him they built a statue of Schultz, and then he said that a monument is cold comfort to a dead man, and then I said that the statue was built not for Schultz, but for us--to remind us how to be human.

Having people remember something that you did 25 years ago doesn't suck.

Mourn for me rather as living than as dead.

Just because someone's dead doesn't mean it's over. My grandfather died more than 25 years ago, but I still think of him a lot and smell his smell.

For my name and memory I leave to men's charitable speeches, and to foreign nations and the next ages.

One lives in the hope of becoming a memory.

You can keep the things of bronze and stone and give me one man to remember me just once a year.

I've given my life to the principle and the ideal of memory, and remembrance.

Pass this bill as the memorial to our late beloved President.

They are not dead who live in the hearts they leave behind.

Remembering people is the most fundamental gesture of love and respect. For me, there are people in my life who are no longer with me, who have died, who are with me as much as any living person because I remember everything about them. My great-uncle, who I got a lot of guidance in life from, meant so much to me.

When it comes to my Uncle Jack, my father, or any other loved ones we've lost, I believe in honoring lives, not deaths.

Even if the flower is no more, still, the fragrance can be.

Marble statues, engraved with public inscriptions, by which the life and soul return after death to noble leaders.

We hold reunions, not for the dead, for there is nothing in all the earth that you and I can do for the dead. They are past our help and past our praise. We can add to them no glory, we can give to them no immortality. They do not need us, but forever and forever more we need them.

When you build a memorial, you build it not because the person wanted it, but for the future -- for generations who didn't know the man and didn't know the era in which he lived.

The highest tribute to the dead is not grief but gratitude.

In my twisted brain, I truly believe that nobody ever really dies, as long as the people that he or she touched continue to spread their legacy. I miss Eddie Guerrero. Eddie Guerrero was a great man. So right now, I don't want to hear 'CM Punk', you know the name I wanna hear.

But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or to detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.
