I'd like to hear some quotes that are inspiring or maybe stuck in your mind.

I'll never forget this one,

Evil only triumphs when good men do nothing.

Some battles you need to lose to gain more. Does that make sense?

I absolutely love Steve Jobs’ ‘Here’s to the crazy ones....’ It was for an Apple ad with Jeff Goldblum saying it, but this version with Jobs himself gives me goosies every time....

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8rwsuXHA7RA

“Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules...

You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

A couple more:

“Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference between the two.”

“Set fire to your maps,

Forget how it has always been.

We’re explorers of the heart,

learning to dream again.

The adventure of a lifetime,

With love as our guide.

Exotic places beyond imagination -

Ones we’ve longed for deep inside.”

I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself.

A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.

First heard it as a child, it's a quote that's kept me going through a lot over the years.

It’s certainly one to think about. The way I interpret the quote is, if you gain something by winning, you can certainly gain something from losing. If you don’t gain from winning, you won’t from either outcome.
