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.

    "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.

    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.

    “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”.
