' Scandal' has to be one of my all-time favorite shows. Not only does the show contain excellent acting, but it also contains spectacular quotes that are either empowering or describe me. I decided to compile those and make a list of my favorites.

1. "Now, you can dance with me or you can get off my dance floor."

Olivia is basically saying, "You can either help me or get out of my way because I can get things done on my own."

2. "You have to try. Because if you try, if you leap and you try, and it doesn't work, it's not on you."

As long as we try our best and take that leap of faith , we shouldn't be disappointed in ourselves if everything doesn't work out.

3. "You can't change the choice you made, all you can do is not let it ruin you."

Everyone makes mistakes. We're human and we're flawed. Don't let your mistakes define you, instead, forget about them and keep moving forward.

4. "You are a gladiator. Gladiators don't run, they fight. They slay dragons. They wipe off the blood, they stitch up their wounds, and they live to fight another day."

Don't give up. You were born to be a gladiator.

5. "Normal is overrated."

Who wants to be normal anyway?

6. "Clothes can help you transform into who you need to be perceived as."

Instead of dressing like a bum every day, dress nicely every now and then. The simple act of putting on nice clothes can make every difference in the world as far as confidence in yourself goes.

7. "The time is always right to do right."

There is never a wrong time to do the right thing.

8. "It hurts until it doesn't... You think it will break you, but it won't."

As long as you stay strong, you can withstand anything.

These are just a few quotes from 'Scandal' that I love, although there are many more. If you like these, I highly suggest you watch the series.
