And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store? What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more? —Theodor Seuss Geisel

Here are some other inspiring quotes you might like.
That thing that you do, after your day job, in your free time, too early in the morning, too late at night. That thing you read about, write about, think about, in fact fantasize about. That thing you do when you’re all alone and there’s no one to impress, nothing to prove, no money to be made, simply a passion to pursue. That’s it. That’s your thing. That’s your heart, your guide. That’s the thing you must, must do. #<Author:0x000055d2d4d9ab50>
PURPOSE
Never, never be afraid to do what's right. #<Author:0x000055d2d4db0428>
EQUALITY
We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter what their color. #<Author:0x000055d2d4dd3ce8>
EQUALITY
You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end, each of us must work for our own improvement and, at the same time, share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful. #<Author:0x000055d2d4df3340>

INNOVATION
Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity. #<Author:0x000055d2d4e6e7c0>
COMPASSION
When we face the worst that can happen in any situation, we grow. When circumstances are at their worst, we can find our best. #<Author:0x000055d2d04ec5e8>

Freedom lies in being bold. #<Author:0x000055d2d1a701a8>
HUMILITY
The molecules of your body are the same molecules that make up the nebulae, that burn inside the stars themselves. We are star stuff. #<Author:0x000055d2d24fd3c8>
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
As soon as you honor the present moment, all unhappiness and struggle dissolve, and life begins to flow with joy and ease. When you act out the present-moment awareness, whatever you do becomes imbued with a sense of quality, care, and love - even the most simple action. #<Author:0x000055d2d25fde80>
MINDFULNESS
Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit. #<Author:0x000055d2d2715110>
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
Believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart. #<Author:0x000055d2d277b848>
CONFIDENCE
The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand. #<Author:0x000055d2d27d6900>
