Emotionally deep and hilariously brilliant — How I Met Your Mother quotes can either make us laugh or cry. Like every other brilliant TV show, this series is not afraid to get emotional, comedic, and serious when needed. After all, it’s like life itself — there are ups, downs, and the middle ground between the two. Every single How I Met Your Mother quote tries to capture some of these feelings while keeping true to the themes of the show and episodes. However, to truly understand and appreciate these quotes, we have to take a deeper look at them.
To strike that funny and motivational quote balance, you must be charismatic and, most importantly, have a plan C up your sleeves. Barney Stinson quotes are the pinnacle of comedy, with a touch of motivation in them. When going to a Halloween party, he emphasized the need to have two suits prepared. On the surface, it’s funny, but when you account for his womanizing character, he also seems to take a strategic stance. Lily and Ted on How I Met Your Mother are the ones that bring those truly motivational quotes. Where Ted looks more from an optimistic (sometimes pessimistic) look at life, Lily takes a realistic look. Her most famous quote might be about mistakes. She prioritized the need to make them and how it would be an even bigger mistake to avoid them.
