Bridgerton may be a historical fiction romance, but it is full of wise life lessons that everyone should be writing down.

Here are ten of the main Bridgerton characters’ best quotes to live by.

10. Agatha Danbury: “Your regrets… are denied.”

The badass icon says this to Simon when he declines her invite to attend her ball, which leads to him coming to the event after all. Sometimes you just have to go that extra mile to convince someone to do what you want them to.

9. Daphne Bridgerton: “You may think you are too damaged and too broken to ever allow yourself to be happy, but you can choose differently, Simon.”

Daphne may have meant this as a declaration of love and free will for Simon, but she is actually right. No one is perfect, and everybody is damaged. You need to take care of you first, boo.

8. Anthony Bridgerton: “I fight… for the family that I have.”

Anthony is one stubborn man, but he sure does care about his family, which is probably his most admirable trait. He is willing to do anything for the people he loves, and so should you. Family is everything.

Young Miss Sharma is barely an adult, and yet she is one of the most sane and rational characters on the show, exemplified by her line spoken to Kate. It’s hard to do something you are not used to, but sometimes it is the only way to be truly happy.

6. Violet Bridgerton: “When all is said and done, nothing else matters.”

Violet dropped the ball when she failed to educate Daphne about what happens on a wedding night. However, this advice is one of her best – if two people care about each other and verbalize it, nothing can stand in the way of love.

OK, so Simon says this to Nigel to stop him from “questioning the lady’s unimpeachable honor.” Still, it perfectly represents the well-known sentiment – if you are talking nonsense, it’s better to shut up.

4. Kate Sharma: “I take issues with any man who views women merely as chattels and breeding stock.”

Kate Sharma, the feminist of her time, does not put up with misogynists, and neither should you. Ladies, set your standards for the men in your life higher than the sky if you want to meet your very own Anthony Bridgerton.

3. Marina Thompson: “If you would simply open your eyes to those that are in front of you, then you might see there are those in your life that already make you happy.”

When Colin comes to visit out of the blue, Marina has a few kind words for him that we should all listen to. If you feel alone and unloved, maybe you need to take another look around to really see the people who are there for you.

2. Portia Featherington: “Circumstances change, ladies. Sometimes over night.”

Lady Featherington is the mama bear we didn’t know we needed, and she often speaks some hard-hitting truths. This quote is essentially about being ready for anything and rolling with the punches.

1. Eloise Bridgerton: “I truly believe I am quite capable of something more.”

Eloise is not amused by the high society’s life, and she doesn’t want any part of it as she constantly reminds everyone around her. You need to believe in yourself just as much as Eloise does – you can do anything you set your mind to.
