"Lives of great men all remind us, we can make our lives sublime, and, departing, leave behind us, footprints on the sands of time"

This quote by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow motivates us to pursue achievement in our lives. He suggests that the lives of terrific guys need to remind us that we too can make our lives sublime. He also recommends that when we leave from this world, we can leave a lasting legacy that will be remembered for generations to come. This legacy can be seen as footprints on the sands of time, a tip of our existence and the effect we have had on the world. This quote motivates us to strive for success and to make a long lasting effect on the world. It advises us that our lives can be meaningful and that we can leave a tradition that will be remembered for years to come.
