I would like to be remembered as a man who had a wonderful time living life, a man who had good friends, fine family - and I don't think I could ask for anything more than that, actually.

I'm eternally grateful to fate and the citizens of Russia that they've trusted me to be the head of the Russian government. This is my whole life. If that's enough for happiness is a separate theme.

Believe it or not, I thank my mom for how she raised me in a neighborhood where I had to jump and chase daily. It only made me what I am today.

Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.

I just appreciate still having the longevity that I've had in my career.

The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.
