The quote comes from the movie gladiator-and simply means what you are able to achieve in your life will be have power over what people in the future think or do.

For most of us average humans-this quote is not really true, for when we die, we have not changed the world in any massive way.

But if you're a genius, inventor...etc. What you do in your lifetime has impact on the future and therefore "echoes in eternity"

The inventors of the first airplanes-the wright brothers-have had what they did do "echo in eternity" because now we have air travel, airplanes and air hostesses.

Thanks guys!

Hope that clears it up.
