For me it was these.

"A focused fool can accomplish more than a distracted genius"

"Until the lion learns to write, every story will glorify the hunter"

These two quotes really helped get my @** in gear.

    "Erfahrung heißt gar nichts. Man kann seine Sache auch 35 Jahre lang schlecht machen." - Kurt Tucholsky

    Which DeepL translates to

    "Experience means nothing. You can do a bad job for 35 years."

    Not strictly life changing, but a very valuable reminder, if you need to deal with 'that' kind of person.
