"If you don’t read the whole book listen to chapter 13 on audio. Obama’s ability to string a sentence is an art form. A true word nerd there are parts where I thought “gosh just get to the point already” but truthfully it’s more my issue with politics than his inability to be clear. But hearing him read chapter 13, where he discusses how weight of war and his penance for decisions… woah… I was moved." — Jun 04, 2024 12:57PM

“He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much;
Who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children;
Who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
Who has never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty or failed to express it;
Who has left the world better than he found it,
Whether an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul;
Who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had;
Whose life was an inspiration;
Whose memory a benediction.”
