I’m always looking for quotes on how to describe my day -- whether I’m happy, sad, heartbroken, mad, lost, or just having a bad day in general. But I never have to look to far because of a few reasons: All my quotes come from "One Tree Hill," and I have every episode memorized, so it’s pretty easy to find a quote to represent my day. "One Tree Hill" has always been there for me in my time of need. With this in mind, here are 23 (you’ll understand the number reference if you’re a fan of the show) of my favorite quotes from "One Tree Hill."

18. “I’ve come to the conclusion that if having things turn out the way you wanted them to is a measure of a successful life, then some would say I’m a failure. The important thing is not to be bitter over life’s disappointments. Learn to let go of the past. And recognize that every day won’t be sunny, and when you find yourself lost in the darkness and despair, remember it’s only in the black of night you see the stars. And those stars will lead you back home. So don’t be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble and fall, cause most of the time, the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most.

The road is long and in the end, the journey is the destination.” -- Coach Whitey Durham

20. “You ever look a picture of yourself, and see a stranger in the background?. It makes you wonder how many strangers have pictures of you. How many moments of other peoples life have we been in. Were we a part of someone’s life when their dream came true or were we there when their dream died. Did we keep trying to get in? As if we were somehow destined to be there or did the shot take us by surprise. Just think, you could be a big part of someone else’s life, and not even know it.” -- Lucas Scott
21. “It's the oldest story in the world. One day you're 17 planning for someday and then quietly, without you ever noticing, someday becomes today. And then someday becomes yesterday. And this is your life.” -- Nathan Scott
22. “Imagine a future moment in your life where all your dreams come true, you know? It's the greatest moment of your life and you get to experience it with one person. Who's standing next to you?” -- Lucas Scott
23. "We spend so much time wanting, pursuing, wishing. But ambition is good, chasing things with integrity is good, dreaming. If you had a friend you knew you’d never see again, what would you say? If you could do one last thing for someone you love, what would it be? Say it. Do it. Don’t wait. Nothing lasts forever. Make a wish and place it in your heart. Anything you want, everything you want. Do you have it? Good. Now believe it can come true. You never know where the next miracle’s going to come from, the next memory, the next smile, the next wish come true. But if you believe that it’s right around the corner, you open your heart and mind to the possibility of it, to the certainty of it, you just might get the thing you’re wishing for. The world is full of magic. You just have to believe in it. So make your wish. Do you have it? Good. Now believe in it with all your heart." --"OTH" cast (Series Finale)
