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?

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

“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.

Actually that’s a (albeit debated) quote from Genghis Khan.

Jobs was such a piece of shit, anything positive he said I just can’t digest it. Fuck that guy.
