"How I Met Your Mother" is one of those shows that is usually watched for the laughs, but ends up teaching just about every viewer a little bit more about themselves. This show shows everyone how to get through life, whether that be single or married, there is a little bit for everyone, which is why I believe viewers enjoy it so much. So many quotes are said throughout the series that relate to everyone's lives, here are some that you may have forgotten but definitely need to hear again.
1. “That’s life, you know. We never end up where you thought you wanted to be." -Marshall
2. “We’re going to get older, whether we like it or not, so the only question is whether we get on with our lives or desperately cling to the past." -Ted
3. “I wound up shame-eating the whole pizza. I woke up all greasy and sweaty. My sheets looked like what they wrap deli sandwiches in. Maybe I should join a gym. Do you go to a gym?" -Ted
4. "Eventually we're all gonna move on. It's called growing up." -Lily
5. “The future is scary, but you can’t just run back to the past because it’s familiar. Yes it’s tempting, but it’s a mistake." -Robin
6. “Maybe this isn’t a breakup. Maybe this is just two friends getting back together." -Barney

13. "If you keep giving up on people so quickly, you're gonna miss out on something great." - Robin
14. "But love doesn't make sense! You can't logic your way into or out of it. Love is totally nonsensical. But we have to keep doing it or else we're lost and love is dead, and humanity should just pack it in. Because love is the best thing we do." - Ted
15. "I used to be in such a hurry all the time. Everything was so urgent. Now I figure, if it's going to happen, it'll happen when it happens. I'm not going anywhere; she's not going anywhere. What's the rush, right?" -Ted
16. "But that's the funny thing about destiny: it happens whether you plan it or not. It turns out I was just too close to the puzzle to see the picture that was forming." - Ted
17. "I realized that I'm searching, searching for what I really want in life. And you know what? I have absolutely no idea what that is." -Barney
