“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.

Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

"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)
"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.
"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.
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.
“The best way to handle, to take care of the future, is to take care of the present moment. What else can you do?”

Life sucks... And then you die.
This is my personal favourite
I don't ask for permission. I ask for forgiveness.
Give the world the best you have and you’ll get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you have anyway.

"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
He died from what he loved being...
Mentally ill and delusional.
I love that for him.
Lol, I was going to say cancer
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.
Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.

“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
“Be excellent to each other”
"fuck it"

"Though the grease burns out of the torch, the fire passes on, and no one knows where it ends." -Zhuangzi
Some things are in our control and others not.
