Peanuts is abundant with philosophy and witticisms that tickle our funny bone. Charles Schulz brings a simplicity to the complexity of everyday lives. Below are some of my favorite Peanuts quotes. Have one I missed your favorite? Send your suggestions to Caren at info@collectpeanuts.com.

A FRIEND IS SOMEONE WHO ACCEPTS YOU FOR WHAT YOU ARE.
We should all be reminded of this adage from time to time. A genuine friendship doesn’t rely on status symbols or personal perfection. Friendships are built between two people being themselves.
THERE’S NO SENSE IN DOING A LOT OF BARKING IF YOU DON’T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY.
We all need a reminder of this from time to time. My dog certainly does!
NO ONE UNDERSTANDS MY GENERATION EITHER.
The times, they are a changing. Generations always seem to be at odds with each other. Peanuts sees through the mess to remind us that no one understands the next generations.
I THINK I'M ALLERGIC TO MORNING.
Snoopy’s popular quote sums up exactly the feeling I have when I wake up… wanting just another hour of sleep to combat the tossing and turning from the night before. Plus, there’s waking up to face another day of going to work, day after day. Perhaps it is best to just stay in bed!
I'VE DEVELOPED A NEW PHILOSOPHY... I ONLY DREAD ONE DAY AT A TIME!
Charlie Brown is certainly a worrier, just like many of us. His philosophy helps us remember to live in now and deal with problems as they come. If we’re constantly worried about things in the distant future, we can’t concentrate on today’s pitfalls and good fortunes.
I’VE GOT TO START ACTING MORE SENSIBLE… TOMORROW.
Snoopy’s care free lifestyle is enviable. To be released from the burdens of responsibility would be wonderful! Snoopy encourages us to live in the moment. Some things can wait until tomorrow.
LOVE IS WALKING HAND IN HAND.
In its own simple way, Peanuts reminds us to remember the little things in life that make us happy. It’s easy to overlook some of the day to day things that make our lives better. Taking a moment to appreciate them is the secret to a life of love and happiness.
NO ONE UNDERSTANDS US CRABBY PEOPLE!
Being crabby is hard. Some days you just want to release the angst. Some days you want someone to make it better. The best way to deal with crabby people is to just listen.
NO PROBLEM IS SO BIG OR SO COMPLICATED THAT IT CAN'T BE RUN AWAY FROM!
Life is full of choices. Sometimes those choices can seem so black and white, leaving us with seemingly only one way to proceed. At those moments, it’s good to take the time to reconsider your options. You may find a better way!
HAPPINESS IS A WARM PUPPY
There’s a reason why this quote is so widely known and beloved! What’s better than that cuddling up with that special someone? Whether you’re feeling down, congratulating a close friend, or just seeing someone after a long absence, there’s nothing quite like reconnecting through a warm embrace. It’s a universal feeling everyone can appreciate.
