Everyone needs a pick-me-up from time to time, and who better to pick you up than Leslie Knope?

Feeling down? Leslie Knope quotes are the answer. Had a bad week? Leslie Knope quotes are here for you. Leslie is the kind of friend we all wish we had. That’s not to say that our friends aren’t amazing, but wouldn’t it just be the best to have Leslie to tell you that you’re a “beautiful tropical fish” every once in a while? I think so.

If you're having one of those days (or weeks), here are a few Leslie quotes to get you through the week.

1. "I am big enough to admit that I am often inspired by myself."

Inspire yourself. You're awesome! Listen to Leslie.

2. "Hey Leslie. It's Leslie. Hang in there. I love you. Bye."

It's OK to remind yourself to hang in there, chill out, be cool, whatever you need.

3. "We have to remember what's important in life: friends, waffles, and work. Or waffles, friends, work. But work has to come third."

Friends and waffles are incredibly important, don't forget it.

4. "Fifty percent more love, 75 percent more action, 125 percent more stunts and 250 percent more explosions."

Be the kind of person who knows what she wants, and in what percentage she wants it.

5. "This is for Pawnee, you butt-faced pompous jerk!"

Be proud of where you came from!

6. "Oh, Ann, you beautiful spinster! I will find you love."

Don't forget to lift your friends up, too.

7. "What I hear when I'm being yelled at is people caring loudly at me."

It's all about perspective.

8. "I need another second, please. I need to remember every little thing about how perfect my life is right now."

Remember to take some time to just take everything in.

9. "Oh, my God, I'm feeling it! I'm gonna break dance!"

Sometimes you just gotta break dance, especially if you're feeling it.

10. "Winning is every girl's dream. But it's my destiny, and my dream."

Have that kind of confidence with anything you do! A little bit of Leslie Knope can make your day and inspire you to dream big. You can do it.
