I like looking up and saving interesting and/or inspiring quotes, they can really brighten up a gloomy day so thought it could be fun to share one you find inspiring/witty/changed how you think/just generally like and maybe it'll help lift people having a rough day 
One I like: "Life is never incomplete if it is an honorable one. At whatever point you leave life, if you leave it in the right way, it is whole.” - Seneca |

I've been reading quite a bit of Marcus Aurelius recently and he has some very inspiring quotes. I'd recommend people check him out of they're looking for inspiration...
It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.
Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself in your way of thinking.
The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.
I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinion of himself than on the opinion of others.
Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth. |

Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride.

"The Cosmos is all that is or was or ever will be. Our feeblest contemplations of the Cosmos stir us -- there is a tingling in the spine, a catch in the voice, a faint sensation, as if a distant memory, of falling from a height. We know we are approaching the greatest of mysteries."
Carl Sagan
