The hopeless romantic, the best advice-giver, the one who wants to save the world, the flirt, and the tough guy- the dynamic of the majority of friend groups, in this case, it isn't FRIENDS, but How I Met Your Mother. Nine hilarious, heartfelt seasons of jam packed inspirational quotes to live by. Hopefully, we all make the life-long friends and have the kick ass job that allows us to spend every day in a booth, at our favorite bar, across from the people we can't imagine life without.

You know how many signs I've gotten, that I should or shouldn't be with someone? And where has it gotten me? Maybe there aren't any signs. Maybe... maybe a locket's just a locket, and a chair's just a chair. Maybe we don't have to give meaning to every little thing. And maybe we don't... Maybe we don't need the universe to tell us what we really want. Maybe we already know that. Deep down." -Ted
