I am a huge fan of "One Tree Hill", and while I love all of the main characters, I believe Haley James does not get enough credit sometimes. She is inspiring and someone girls can look up to. She was always there for the other characters, and she always seemed to be the voice of reason for many people. For this reason, I've gathered some of her best lines throughout the show. Consider this the first of many articles to come about "One Tree Hill". So here are words from Haley James:

"Life is short and opportunities are rare. And we have to be vigilant in protecting them and not only the opportunities to succeed but the opportunity to laugh, to see the enchantment and to live. Because life doesn't owe us anything -- in fact I think we owe something to the world."

"Now is the time for us to shine. The time when our dreams are within reach and possibilities vast. Now is the time for all of us to become the people we have always dreamed of being. This is your world. You're here. You matter. The world is waiting."

"Yeah well, I guess I can’t really help it if I found the guy I wanna be with my first time out. Isn’t that what it’s all about? Maybe if we’re not out there looking for the one we wanna be with forever then what are we doing?"

"You can choose to blame your circumstances on fate or bad luck or bad choices. Or you can fight back. Things aren’t always going to be fair in the real world. That’s just the way it is. But for the most part, you get what you give. Rest of your life is being shaped right now. With the dreams you chase, the choices you make, and the person you decide to be. The rest of your life is a long time. And the rest of your life starts right now."

"But you love him right? Then don’t wait. Life’s too short to play games. If you love somebody and you want to be with them, then go get them. Deal with the mess later. You don’t know what tomorrow will bring."

"I gave you my heart. That’s all that I can give. And if that’s not enough for you, then I’m not enough for you."
