Get Inspired By These Quotes From Famous Childhood Characters

You can listen to all the TED Talks and motivational speeches you want, but sometimes the most powerful words of wisdom come from the unlikeliest of sources: cartoon characters.

In a new graphic poster created by a cartoon fan, the iconic characters from Disney, Nickelodeon, and other studios prove that they're anything but kid's stuff. Packed with more wisdom than a library of Chicken Soup for the Soul books, the poster will inspire, motivate, and encourage others to be the best possible person they can be. Or, as The Flash puts it: "Life doesn't give us purpose. We give life purpose." Preach, Barry.

You can check out select quotes in the gallery below, or the entire poster here.
