The 18 Best How I Met Your Mother Quotes

"How I Met Your Mother" truly has some of the best scripts. Yes, it's a sitcom, but it can get very deep at times as well. While it makes us laugh, it also includes some life lessons from Lily, Ted, Robin, Marshall and even Barney. Between Ted’s love life and his desperation for Robin, we get some very nice quotes. Barney is always bound to talk about high fives and being awesome, and Marshall and Lily are always talking about being the cutest couple in the world. Here they are: the best, most wonderful, HIMYM quotes. Of course, there are many more, but these are some of the highlights.


“If you have chemistry, you only need one other thing: Timing. But timing’s a bitch." - Robin

“Whatever you do in this life, it’s not legendary unless your friends are there to see it.” – Barney

“If you’re not scared, then you’re not taking a chance. If you’re not taking a chance, then what the hell are you doing?” – Ted

“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

“OK, yes, it’s a mistake. I know it’s a mistake, but there are certain things in life where you know it’s a mistake. But you don’t really know it’s a mistake because the only way to really know it’s a mistake is to make the mistake and look back and say, ‘Yep, that was a mistake.’” – Lily

“When I let a day go by without talking to you, that day’s just no good.” – Barney

“I’m cuddly bitch - deal with it!”– Marshall

“That’s life, you know. You never end up where you thought you wanted to be.” –Marshall

“You can’t design your life like a building. You just have to live it, and it’ll design itself.” –Lily

“I request the highest of fives.” – Barney

“The good things will always be here waiting for you.” – Lily

“When you find someone you want to keep around, you do something about it.” – Ted

“You don’t want to tell me what’s wrong? Fine, I don’t need to know, but you can never stop me from trying to cheer you up. It’s a fact of life.” – Ted

“A lie is just a great story that someone ruined with the truth.” – Barney

“When it’s after 2 a.m., just go to sleep. Because the decisions you make after 2 a.m. are the wrong decisions.” – Ted

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
