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?
“Why should I kill myself? It’s everyone else that sucks!”
Forgot where it came from, though. Bender, from Futurama?
Oh that reminds me of something funny my old psychiatrist told me: when people complain that everybody hates them, he responds: how can that be true? You haven’t even met everyone yet!
It sounds like something from “A Pharaoh to Remember”
I hope you’re all happy. You’ve succeeded in convincing me life is worth living, by showing how bad my funeral will suck
But I think you’re confusing it with a scene from Office Space
Why should I change? He’s the one who sucks
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)
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.
"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.
“If it is too hard to cope with failure, how can you ever be able to handle success?” -Unknown.
This too shall pass
Good things too.
“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.
“Cheating is the gift man gives himself”

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
“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
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
He died from what he loved being…
Mentally ill and delusional.
I love that for him.
Lol, I was going to say cancer
