Feeling down? It’s OK, because we have exactly what you need for you to pick yourself back up again. What’s that, you ask? Just 10 of Whoopi Goldberg‘s most inspirational quotes, that’s what.

The 63-year-old TV personality has been known to share some great life advice to those in need from time to time. After all, she has endured everything from money troubles to drug addiction and, of course, broken hearts. What we’re saying is Whoopi knows exactly to say to uplift anyone and everyone out there.

“I fear waking up one morning and finding out my life was all for nothing. We’re here for a reason. I believe a bit of the reason is to throw little torches out to lead people through the dark.
