There's so much to learn from the brilliant Amy Poehler. From hilarious comebacks to wise life advice, she always knows what to say. Whether it's Leslie Knope, Angie, the cool mom or Amy herself giving the pointers, it's all good stuff. Have a laugh at some of her quotes while taking everything she says to heart and applying it to your own life. It's for your own good.

A life without risks sounds kind of boring when you think about it.

Nice one.

There's no shame in that.

It takes a lot to confess when you're wrong, but everyone (and every purse) is better off when you do.
5. Don't put others down.
It makes sense.
6. Be the cool mom.
Provide snacks and whatever else might be needed.

This is good news to anyone.

If all you did was live by Amy's many quotes, I'd say you'd be pretty well-off. Everyone should watch her hilarious shows and movies like "Parks and Recreation," "Baby Mama," "Sisters," "SNL," "Blades of Glory," "Inside Out," and "Mean Girls" to get more hilarious but meaningful life advice. She even has her own book called "Yes, Please," so there's plenty of Amy to go around. Girls need to see that being smart is underrated. Amy has so many opinions on so many different topics and they're all great for young girls looking for a role model. I know at least one person that looks up to her.
Knope out. *drops mic*
