5 Memorable (And Useful) Stan Lee Quotes

Earlier in November, we lost a legend and one of the greatest "Misfit Entrepreneurs" of the last century in Stan Lee.  If you know anything about Stan's story, he started working in comics as teenager in the family business.  It took him a long time to get success and when he did, he had issues with lawsuits that caused him to file for bankruptcy in some of his companies.  It was later in life that he really finally had success financially.

His biggest success to me was the fact that he was married for 70 years to his wife and that he inspired generations to go after the impossible and make it reality.  The characters he created were just like you and me.  In most cases, average people that found their gift and used it for good or to change the world.  You have that ability as well.

To honor Stan, I pulled 5 of his most memorable and useful quotes to inspire you...

1. "You know, my motto is 'Excelsior.' That's an old word that means 'upward and onward to greater glory.' It's on the seal of the state of New York. Keep moving forward, and if it's time to go, it's time. Nothing lasts forever."
2. "With great power comes great responsibility.”
3. "Another definition of a hero is someone who is concerned about other people’s well-being and will go out of his or her way to help them — even if there is no chance of a reward. That person who helps others simply because it should or must be done, and because it is the right thing to do, is indeed without a doubt, a real superhero."
4. "Every day, there’s a new development. … There’s no limit to the things that are happening. "
5. "Luck is one of the most important things in the world and really has a role to play in everything, and in marriage, I’ve been lucky enough to be married to the same girl for all these years."
