We'd all like to be remembered long after we're gone for something we wrote or said publicly. Something witty or profound. But lately, there hasn't been much of that.
Great thinkers, men (and women) of letters, politicians, military leaders – they all from time to time get remembered for something they once said that had was pithy or wise.
