Anyone who has ever seen How I Met Your Mother can easily see that Ted has had enough life experience for all of us. Love, life, failure, triumph, and everything in between, Ted knows all.
1. "If you're not scared then you're not taking a chance. And if you're not taking a chance, then what the hell are you doing anyway?"
2. "Shouldn't we hold out for the person who doesn't just tolerate our quirks but actually kinda likes them?"
3. "If you're really honest with yourself about what you want out of life, life gives it to you."
4. "The more you fight it, the worse it's gonna get. It's like when your car slides on ice, you stir into the skid."
5. "There are a lot of little reasons why the big things in our lives happen."
6. "You can't cling to the past. Because no matter how tightly you hold on, it's already gone."
7. "Even if you know how something is going to end, that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the ride."
8. "People make fun of the guy who stays home every night doing nothing, but the truth is that guy is genius."
9. "When you believe in people, people come through."
10. "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's the best thing we do."
11. "There's a fine line between love and insanity."
12. "When it's just not there, you can't force it."
13. "Sometimes things have to fall apart to make way for better things."
14. "Ultimately, we only see what we want to see when we're ready to see it."
Thanks for all the life lessons, Ted Evelyn Mosby. 9 seasons will never be enough.
