Ron Swanson is a lot of things: A man's man, a breakfast lover, a great advice giver, and most importantly the man we all wish was real and was running for president instead of what we've got going on now. But since that won't ever happen I've compiled a list of my favorite Ron Swanson quotes to get us through the hard times.

1. When he made us rethink the meaning of luck...

2. When he explained how we all feel when we have to eat healthy

3. When he said what we all wish we weren't too polite to say

4. When he spoke this little American truth

5. Cats really are pointless.

6. No truer statement was ever said

7. Except maybe this one...

8. When he, like us all at times, just really didn't get what all the touristy fuss was about.

9. When he just did what he wanted.

10. This little nugget of truth

11. How we all feel about this election.
