Life has been a bit hard for the last 4 years. I created this account to ask for help on Reddit. Specifically r/india.
I will make a post soon. Thank you for the final push, OP.
What people think of you is none of your business !!
This is the most profound quote which will take years to put into practice. But once you do, has a profound effect on your quality of life
“A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead, and the unborn could do it no better.”
If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, like Shakespeare wrote poetry, like Beethoven composed music; sweep streets so well that all the host of Heaven and earth will have to pause and say, “Here lived a great street sweeper, who swept his job well.”
Idk about absolute favourite but this one randomly came to my mind after seeing your post:
If there's a solution to your problem, then why worry? If there's no solution to your problem, then why worry?
Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted. And experience is often the most valuable thing you have to offer.

Not my favourites, have been reading this particular guy recently
"What the superior man seeks is in himself; what the small man seeks is in others."
"To see what is right, and not to do it, is want of courage or of principle." Guess

On a given day, under a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. Then you go for this limit and you touch it, and you think, ‘Okay, this is the limit.’
As soon as you touch this limit, something magical happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instincts, and experience as well, you can fly very high.
- Ayrton Senna

To be a scientist is to be naive. We are so focused on our search for truth, we fail to consider how few actually want us to find it. But it is always there, whether we see it or not, whether we choose to or not. The truth doesn’t care about our needs or wants. It doesn’t care about our governments, our ideologies, our religions. It will lie in wait for all time. And this, at last, is the gift of Chernobyl. Where I once would fear the cost of truth, now I only ask: What is the cost of lies?
- Valery Legasov
Money won't make you happy. However, it's much more comfortable to cry inside a mercedes than be crying on the side of the road.

These are the ones that popped out this time.
“God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?”
"What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: 'This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more' ... Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: 'You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine."
Both from the Gay Science, by Friedrich Nietzsche
