BTS quotes: All the most inspiring things said by our favorite boys

BTS is really intentional about being inspiring to the world and its fans. The fact that they’re so aware of the impact they can have on their wide audience is really admirable. You can tell in their music they’re doing their best to motivate people, shine a light on self-esteem issues, and inspire their fans to self actualize as much as they can. 

And the kicker? They do all this while looking super fly and providing us with a large supply of catchy bops. BTS is quotable as heck. Granted, ARMY fans would probably even try to quote a burp from Grandpa Yoongi, but BTS truly can be super inspirational. 

From love to work ethic to thoughts on happiness, here all the most inspiring quotes from the BTS boys. Warning: You might feel like taking over the world by the end of it, so maybe order some magnesium chalk for your climb to the top.

BTS Quotes about perseverance & diligence
