11 Things Robin Williams Taught Me (you'll learn something too)

As most of us already heard about it, the iconic and loveable Robin Williams was found dead in his California home at the age of 63.

I always love his movies because most of the time, I can learn something out of the things he says.

He will be sorely missed for the light humor and deep philosophical lessons he imparted on Millennials and the rest of the world alike.

Here's a list of the most profound and beautiful quotes from the late actor who so tragically left this earth far too young. You will be missed Robin Williams.


#1: There's nothing wrong with being alone

"I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone, it's not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people that make you feel alone."

#2: Learn to forgive yourself, not just others

"Good people end up in Hell because they can't forgive themselves."

#3: It's OK to be crazy

"You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it."

#4: The modern man has real struggles

"See, the problem is that God gives men a brain and a penis, and only enough blood to run one at a time."

#5: Pick your battles wisely

"Never fight with an ugly person, they've got nothing to lose."

#6: Never stop reaching for greatness

"No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world."

#7: Surround yourself with the right people

"When you have a great audience, you can just keep going and finding new things."

#8: You can't appreciate the good until you've felt the bad

"You will have bad times, but they will always wake you up to the stuff you weren't paying attention to."

#9: There's no such thing as a perfect person

"She is not perfect, You are not perfect. the question is whether or not you are perfect for each other."

#10: Everyone has a purpose, every action has a meaning

"I believe in destiny. There must be a reason that I am as I am. There must be."

#11: Never stop dreaming big and never stop dreaming until you finally reach it

"No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world."


I hope that he can continue to inspire you and myself to live a better life. Seize the time you are given today and create the life you want.

R.I.P. Robin Williams
