I always loved browsing such posts on reddit, so thought I should make one on lemmy too

Edit: Usually these kind of posts only used to have excerpts from books or ancient proverbs, but now I am seeing a lot more quotes from shows/movies/games are also resonating with people. It's pretty cool to see.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

Love this one. Also the alternate version - "Be he person your dog thinks you are."

I hope to one day be as good of a person as my dog thinks I am.
