For nine seasons, the cast of "One Tree Hill" took us through an emotional journey. Some episodes left me in tears while others provided many laughs. In just a few episodes, I fell in love with the storyline and found myself binge watching several episodes at a time. In 187 episodes, we take away several life lessons. Some of these lessons left behind relatable quotes that apply to our everyday life.
1. "Happiness comes in many forms — in the company of good friends, in the feeling you get when you make someone else’s dream come true, or in the promise of hope renewed. It’s okay to let yourself be happy because you never know how fleeting that happiness might be." - Lucas Scott
2. "Love is a wonderful thing, And it doesn’t knock much, so when it does, make sure to open the door." - Brooke Davis
3. "Do what makes you happy, but do it now. Live for the moment because everything else is uncertain, take advantage of what’s right in front of you." - Rachel Gatina"
4. "At this moment there are 6,470,818, 671 people in this world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men, at war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world. Six billion souls. And sometimes — all you need is one." - Peyton Sawyer
5. "There’s no shame in being afraid. Hell, we’re all afraid. What you gotta do is figure out what you’re afraid of because when you put a face on it, you can beat it. Better yet, you can use it." - Coach Whitey Durham
6. "People are going to label you. It’s how you overcome those labels. That’s what matters." – Brooke Davis
7. "People want to hear songs with the words they’re afraid to say." - Peyton Sawyer
8. "If you’re lucky … if you’re the luckiest person on this entire planet, the person you love decides to love you back." - Nathan Scott
9. "Because sometimes you have to step outside the person you’ve been and remember the person you were meant to be, the person you wanted to be, the person you are." - Mouth McFadden
10. "I think eventually we learn to define happiness for ourselves on our own terms, in spite of the pain other people have caused us." - Haley Scott
11. "So make your wish. Do you have it? Good. Now believe in it, with all of your heart." – "One Tree Hill"
12. "Change is a whisper. It’s a season. It’s slow and quiet and it’s not very dramatic. But it’s up to you." - Brooke Davis
13. "It's hard when you miss people. But you know, if you miss them, it means you were lucky. It means you had someone special in your life, someone worth missing." - Nathan Scott
14. "And when you find yourself lost in the darkness and despair ... remember it's only in the black of night you can see the stars, and those stars will lead you back home." - Coach Whitey Durham
15. “It’s the oldest story in the world. One day you’re seventeen and planning for someday. And then quietly and without you ever really noticing, someday is today. And that someday is yesterday. And this is your life.” - Nathan Scott
