Here’s one I love: “The only way to do great work is to love what you do.” – Steve Jobs.
It always motivates me to focus on my passions. What’s a quote that inspires you?
Jobs was such a piece of shit, anything positive he said I just can’t digest it. Fuck that guy.
“We are made of starstuff” – Carl Sagan
It’s inspiration to me because it always reminds me of our insignificantly small and momentary place in this universe.
“You will become way less concerned with what other people think of you when you realize how seldom they do.”
David Foster Wallace (although he may have been quoting someone else)

"Be the change you want to see in the world.”
I live by the rule that I imagine everyone doing what I’m doing. If everyone doing it would make the world a worse place, then I don’t do it. Conversely, if it would make the world better, I go for it. This mindset makes even small charitable acts feel meaningful—because while my individual contribution may be minor, if everyone did that little thing too, we’d all be much better off.
Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
– Conan
Actually that’s a (albeit debated) quote from Genghis Khan.

Good things too.

Financial advice:
Mr. Simpson, your intelligence profile indicates that you’re too… “stupid” to stick to a budget.
-Yes. Go on.
So, let me put this simply. You need more money.
-But how do I get it?
I’m a financial planner, not a financial consultant. Sorry.
Life sucks… And then you die.
This is my personal favourite
He died from what he loved being…
Mentally ill and delusional.
I love that for him.
Lol, I was going to say cancer
“The best way to handle, to take care of the future, is to take care of the present moment. What else can you do?”
— Thich Nhat Hanh, The Art Of Mindful Living
“We choose to go to the moon” was the first thing that popped into my mind.
And related to OPs quote. “If you love your job, you’ll never work a day in your life”.
Only you can take a sad song and make it better.
Just remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
Give the world the best you have and you’ll get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you have anyway.
