11 Greatest How I Met Your Mother Quotes About Love
thoughtcatalog.com

How I Met Your Mother had a nine season-long run during its time on television. It was a sitcom joining Ted Mosby on his journey to finding the love of his life, Throughout the show's run, audiences grew to both love and hate the ensemble cast of Ted and his eccentric group of friends. The show made us laugh, cry, and look at yellow umbrellas as a sign of hope and blue french horns as a sign of true love. Whether we liked the series finale or absolutely despised it, we can all agree that it had some of the best love quotes of any sitcom of its time.

1. "We struggle so hard to hold on to these things that we know are gonna disappear eventually. And that’s really noble." --Lily Aldrin

2. "There are two big days in any love story: the day you meet the girl of your dreams and the day you marry her."--Ted Mosby

3. "You can’t just skip ahead to where you think your life should be." --Lily Aldrin

4. "Whether a gesture’s charming or alarming, depends on how it’s received."--Ted Mosby

5. “If you’re not scared, you’re not taking a chance. And if you’re not taking a chance, then what the hell are you doing?” --Ted Mosby

6. "“Shouldn’t we hold out for the person who doesn’t just tolerate our little quirks, but actually kind of likes them?”--Ted Mosby

7. “You keep giving up on people, you’re going to miss out on something great.” --Robin Sherbatsky

8. “Sometimes things have to fall apart to make way for better things.”--Ted Mosby

9. "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 Mosby

10. "Victoria is wunderbar, but she is not my "Lebenslanger Schicksalsschatz." She's my "Beinahe-Leidenschaftsgegenstand"... it means the thing that is almost the thing that you want, but it's not quite. That is Victoria to me. "Lebenslanger Schicksalsschatz" is not something that develops over time. It is something that happens instantaneously. It courses through you like the water of a river after a storm, filling you and emptying you all at once. You feel it throughout your body, in your hands, in your heart, in your stomach, in your skin... have you ever felt this way about someone? If you have to think about it, you have not felt it. Everyone does eventually. You just never know when or where." -- Klaus

11. ""Here's the secret kids. None of us can vow to be perfect. In the end all we can do is promise to love each other with everything we've got. Because love is the best thing we do."--Ted Mosby

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
