If you would not be forgotten ...

"If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write things worth reading or do things worth writing." - Benjamin Franklin

I would not mind doing both.

However, it is always for someone else to evaluate - especially the actions, but also the words.

We either overestimate or underestimate either the significance of our deeds or the profundity of our words. Seldom are we on target.

So we strive. We invest ourselves in what is true and right and noble.

And we leave it to others to decide whether or not to remember confident that the One who counts will.
