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?
“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.
“Win if you can, lose if you must, but always, always cheat.”
I’m told this creed is an invention of a family member, but if I’m following the message it’s almost certainly stolen from somewhere.
I’m also a big fan of “Anything worth doing is a worth doing half-assed”
In my family it was:
“If he’s bigger‘en you, get yerself an equalizer”
The point is the same, no one voluntarily goes in to a fight they think is fair. They “cheated“ before you got involved. It’s foolish not to cheat back.
Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
– Conan
“You will become way less concerned with what other people think of you when you realize how seldom they do.”

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.
This too shall pass
Good things too.
Only you can take a sad song and make it better.
Just remember to let her into your heart
“The injury that is to be done to a man should be of such a kind that one does not stand in fear of revenge. “
- Machiavelli
“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”.
In the end; the universe tends to unfold as it should.
Yes, but how should it? If it ‘should’ have immense amounts of suffering and inequity, that doesn’t sound very comforting.
Give the world the best you have and you’ll get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you have anyway.
–Kent M. Keith
Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.

I don’t ask for permission. I ask for forgiveness.
