I found the following quotes inspiring, which I plan to continuously update below:
"Einstein was not born a genius, and neither were you" - Unknown
"We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope" - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
"Ultimately, we must question whether the systems we operate under truly serve us—or if they were designed to keep us just comfortable enough to stop asking for more. Because if history has taught us anything, it's that real empowerment doesn't come from promises; it comes from dismantling the structures that keep people from building true wealth and autonomy." - Elizabeth Pearson in Forbes
"A return-to-work mandate is a pay cut and a time suck." - Dan Vergano / Jeanna Bryner in Scientific American
"You've got to find what you love." - Steve Jobs in Inc.
"Every person that you can get in your favor is one less person who will be against your success." - Alex Chew
"We need leaders. Don’t wait for someone else to pick up the hammer and start going after nails. You do it. And do it with aggression and a vengeance against a movement that took away everything we loved about the vocation we chose." - Joe Procopio in Inc.
"None of us can be held responsible for the wrongs of our ancestors. But if today we choose not to do the right and necessary thing, that burden we own." - Nikole Hannah-Jones
"Success is rarely a gift. More often, it is something you make happen." - Dr. Hassane Lgaz
"I think that without owning something over an extended period of time, like a few years, where you have the chance to take responsibility for your recommendations, where you have to see your recommendations through all action stages, and accumulate scar tissue for the mistakes, and pick yourself up off the ground and dust yourself off . . . you learn a fraction of what you can. Coming in and making recommendations and not owning the results, not owning the implications, [provides] a fraction of the value and a fraction of the opportunity to learn to be better. Without the experience of actually doing it, [you] never get three-dimensional." - Steve Jobs in Inc.
