Family might be defined as a group of people who are related to each other, but it’s more than that. It’s a meaningful connection, an experience. It’s an incredible and unbreakable bond—created by mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers. It’s comfort in a world of uncertainty. It’s a shoulder to lean on. It’s a source of inspiration. It’s love and support. It’s that warm and fuzzy feeling. It’s wonderful, and it’s necessary.

1. Protecting Your Dreams: The Pursuit of Happyness

Hey. Don’t ever let somebody tell you… You can’t do something. Not even me. All right?
You got a dream… You gotta protect it. People can’t do somethin’ themselves, they wanna tell you you can’t do it. If you want somethin’, go get it. Period. — Christopher Gardner

This quote comes from a scene in which the main character, Christopher Gardner, imparts a bit of fatherly advice to his young son, Christopher, Jr. 

The advice is the crux of the movie, as it’s the story of a man who works to provide for his son and protect his own dreams in the midst of many obstacles and struggles. 02of 20

2. Find the Light: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

But you know happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, when one only remembers to turn on the light. — Professor Albus Dumbledore

It can be difficult to try to see the lighter, more positive side of a dark situation, but it’s important to try to look for it anyway. Your happiness depends on it. 03of 20

3. Beauty in Adversity: Mulan

The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all. — The Emperor of China

Mulan struggles with fitting into her family’s and society’s expectations of her. And yet, it was through flouting those expectations and putting herself right smack in the middle of adversity that she discovers herself and finds her confidence. And it’s within that strong sense of self that her true beauty blooms. 04of 20

4. The Purpose of Bad Times: Good Will Hunting

You’ll have bad times, but it’ll always wake you up to the good stuff you weren’t paying attention to. — Sean

It’s true. Sometimes the bad times in which you struggle are the very moments that force you into something better or force you to at least see your life differently. 05of 20

5. There Is Always Hope: The Theory of Everything

There should be no boundaries to human endeavor. We are all different. However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there’s life, there is hope. — Stephen Hawking

This is one of the best movie quotes about life. The existence of life itself is all about hope and possibility, and Stephen Hawking’s life is a testament to that. No matter how difficult things got for him, he still found ways to accomplish his goals and dreams. 06of 20

6. Finding the Good in Life’s Surprises: Finding Dory

Dory: What is so great about plans? I never had a plan! Did I plan to lose my parents? No. Did I plan to find Marlin? No. Did you and I plan to meet? Wait. Did we?
Hank: Are you almost done?
Dory: Well, I don’t think we did. And that’s because the best things happen by chance. Because that’s life. And that’s you being with me out in the ocean, not safe in some stupid glass box.

Life is also all about surprises. You can’t plan for everything. And trying to stay safe all the time doesn’t work either. 

Dory was an adorable character in Finding Nemo and she was responsible for one of that movie’s best life lessons: Just keep swimming. And now, even in her own movie, she keeps teaching us: The best things happen by chance. 07of 20

7. Born to Handle Life’s Challenges: Gladiator

8. Just Because It’s Hard Doesn’t Mean It’s Wrong: Pocahontas

Young man, sometimes the right path is not the easiest one. — Grandmother Willow

Grandmother Willow says this to John Smith in the movie Pocahontas, but it’s applicable to you as well. Just because your dreams seem impossible doesn’t mean they are. And just because your path is difficult doesn’t mean you’re on the wrong one. 09of 20

9. Don’t Give Up: Pay It Forward

I think some people are too scared, or something. I guess it’s hard for people who are so used to things the way they are – even if they’re bad – to change. ‘Cause they kind of give up. And when they do, everybody kind of loses. — Trevor McKinney

Don’t give up. Yes, it’s probably easier to stay stuck where you are. But if you step out of your comfort zone, even when you’re scared, you’ll be a lot happier. And happier peopleare better at helping others. 10of 20

10. Keep Moving Forward: Rocky Balboa

You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! — Rocky

Keep moving forward. If you get knocked down, don’t stay down. Get back up and keep moving forward. Even little steps forward in the face of adversity are better than no steps at all. 11of 20

11. Only Love Saves the World: Wonder Woman

I’ve touched the darkness that lives in between the light. Seen the worst of this world, and the best. Seen the terrible things men do to each other in the name of hatred, and the lengths they’ll go to for love. Now I know. Only love can save this world. So I stay. I fight, and I give… for the world I know can be. This is my mission, now. Forever. — Diana Prince

The movie Wonder Woman is a great origin story for the iconic superhero. Plus, it shows that no matter what darkness Wonder Woman goes through, love for her fellow man is what ultimately pulls her through. Love saves her and inspires her to keep saving the world.

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. — Gandalf

13. Hope Never Dies: The Shawshank Redemption

Remember, Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. — Andy Dufresne

16. The Importance of Being United: Black Panther

We will work to be an example of how we, as brothers and sisters on this earth, should treat each other. Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another, as if we were one single tribe. — T’Challa

Being united is much more powerful than being divided. This is especially the case in times of crisis. This quote from T’Challa is an important reminder of the value of overcoming our differences to work together towards a common goal. 17of 20

17. It’s Supposed to Be Hard: A League of Their Own

It’s supposed to be hard. If it wasn’t hard, everyone would do it. The hard… is what makes it great. — Jimmy Dugan

Jimmy Dugan is the least inspiring character on this list, but it doesn’t make what he said any less true. The best goals and dreams to pursue are the hard ones, the difficult ones. And they’re the most satisfying once you do reach them.18of 20

18. Try For Honor: The Blind Side

But honor, that’s the real reason you either do something or you don’t. It’s who you are and maybe who you want to be. If you die trying for something important, then you have both honor and courage, and that’s pretty good. I think that’s what the writer was saying, that you should hope for courage and try for honor. And maybe even pray that the people telling you what to do have some, too. — Michael Oher

Courage is a tool but honor is what you should strive for. Honor is a value. Courage can help you pursue honor. 19of 20

19. The Definition of Bravery: Angus

Grandpa: Superman isn’t brave.
Angus: Did you take your pills this morning?
Grandpa: You don’t understand. He’s smart, handsome, even decent. But he’s not brave. No, listen to me. Superman is indestructible, and you can’t be brave if you’re indestructible. It’s people like you and your mother. People who are different, and can be crushed and know it. Yet they keep on going out there every time.

If you’re a fan of Superman, this quote probably isn’t for you. But if you’re looking for everyday heroes, this is perfect. The brave aren’t the ones with superpowers. Brave people are the ones like Angus, who, despite knowing he’ll be bullied at school about his weight, still gets up and goes to school anyway. 20of 20

20. Let Go of the Past: Forrest Gump

My Mama always said you’ve got to put the past behind you before you can move on. — Forrest Gump

The movie Forrest Gump is full of little nuggets of advice like this one. The whole movie is about Forrest’s past and how he’s survived all of his obstacles. And he’s survived, partly, because he’s able to move on from his past better than most people to fully embrace his present.
