Louis C.K. is a hilarious comedian and his stand-up is always worth a listen. However, he also has great life advice built into his comedy. Louis makes insightful, intelligent statements about how to live your life as a good person and do your best to get by. Here are some of his best quotes that will always be true for us all.
1. “Life is bigger than you. Life isn’t something that you possess, it’s something that you take part in and you witness.”
2. “I don’t stop eating when I’m full. The meal isn’t over when I’m full. It’s over when I hate myself.”
3. “Take a deep breath. You’ll be okay. Even if you don’t feel okay all the time.”
4. “‘I’m bored’ is a useless thing to say. You live in a great, big, vast world that you’ve seen none percent of.”
5. “Just put whatever device you have down and live your life.”
6.“It’s a positive thing to talk about terrible things and make people laugh about them.”
7. “My favorite thing to do is sleep. I love sleep. Sleep is like, that’s my thing.”
8. “Negative stuff, if you focus on it, it only drags you into a bad place, so I just don’t think about it much.”
9. “When you leave behind failure, that means you’re doing better. If you think everything you’ve done has been great, you’re probably dumb."
10. “When you have bacon in your mouth, it doesn’t matter who’s president.”
11. “Offending people is a necessary and healthy act. Every time you say something that’s offensive to another person, you just caused a discussion. You forced them to have to think.”
12. “When a person tells you that you hurt them, you don’t get to decide that you didn’t.”
13. “You need to build the ability to just be yourself and not be doing something.”
14. “I always tell my kids to cut a sandwich in half right when you get it and the first thought you should have is somebody else. You only ever need half a burger.”
15. “You don’t have to be smart to laugh at farts, but you have to be stupid not to."
Whether you like or dislike his dark (and at times offensive) humor, no one can deny he makes some great points about life. Louis has gone through a lot and just wants to share his wisdom with the next generation, and we would be smart to listen.
