The Einstein quote is my favorite here. One that inspires me regularly is from a poem by Mary Oliver, called “Wild Geese.” The verse is, “You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.”

A nice collection! They’re all good, and reaffirm very much the same message. The one by Joshua Marine, which I didn’t know, adds that extra dimension of meaningfulness, which I find very true.
