Life doesn’t come with coaches (unless we pay for one)! However, the godmother of magic is here to save the day. While reading Harry Potter for the first time I didn’t understand how it was stacked with important life advice through and through. So here is a list of J.K. Rowling quotes that have been my saving grace for the past few years.

5.”But you know, happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” —Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

10.”It’s a curious thing, Harry, but perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it. Those who, like you, have leadership thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well.” —Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

14. “Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can’t see where it keeps its brain.” Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

15. “You sort of start thinking anything’s possible if you’ve got enough nerve.” Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

16. “Dark and difficult times lie ahead. Soon we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy.” Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

17. “Suffering like this proves you are still a man! This pain is part of being human … the fact that you can feel pain like this is your greatest strength.” —Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
