We all know that the world can sometimes feel like a bleak place to live, and that there will occasionally be moments when the arrival of a TARDIS and a cheery Time Lord friend would really help.
Now that we’re approaching the Thirteenth Doctor’s final destinations, it seems a good moment to look back over her wisest, most inspirational and, yes, daftest vocal moments. She’s got a heart of gold, but a mouth that is prone to jibbering. Let’s see some of the things she might say to help you in times of dire need: 
1. “Never had a flat. I should get one, I'd be good in a flat. I could get a sofa. Imagine me with a sofa, like my own sofa, I could get a purple one and sit on it. Am I being weird?” – “Arachnids in the U.K.”
Thirteen’s plan for contentment is captured in one concept. She gets a flat, she gets a sofa – thrillingly domestic so far – it’s a purple sofa, and she wants to sit on it. All laudible aims, but hardly the sort of thing you need to say out loud, to anyone. So yes, weird.
2. “I need oil, water, tree bark, a saucepan, nine containers, an old newspaper, a touch of ox spit, a chicken poo and a biscuit.”
Graham: “Why a biscuit?“
Doctor: “I love biscuits.”
Once again, she drills down into the bare essentials. Granted, some of her wishes are a little extreme – although useful in the context of events in “Demons of the Punjab” – but when you get right down to it, happiness is a custard cream and a cuppa.
3. “I'm your friend. But friends help each other face up to their problems, not avoid them. You are the maddest, most beautiful thing I've ever experienced, and I haven't even scratched the surface. I wish I could stay. But if either of us are going to survive, you're going to have to let me go and keep on being brilliant by yourself.”

There’s a lot of connection and disconnection within “It Takes You Away,” and this speech covers both; friendship as a big hug, and friendship as a tearful goodbye. Wouldn’t you love to tell your bestie that they’re the “maddest, most beautiful thing” you’ve ever experienced? Well why not start now?
4. “[Hope] doesn't just offer itself up. You have to use your imagination. Imagine the solution and work to make it a reality. Whole worlds pivot on acts of imagination.”
You’ve got your flat, your friends and your biscuit, what else is there? Thirteen’s speech in “The Tsuranga Conundrum” suggests there is everything, anytime, anywhere. All you need to do to access it is kick your brain into gear and get active.
5. “A last-minute, imperfect, all-I've-got plan. Saving Shelley was step one.”
Yaz: “What's step two?”
Doctor: “Fix the mess I created in step one.”

There’s a lot of rueful self-awareness in “The Haunting of Villa Diodati” and rightly so. The Doctor has to make a terrible choice, help an enemy or destroy a future she knows, one which contains people she loves. She’s clever enough to realize her choices are flawed, but diligent enough to try and make up for her mistakes.
6. “Because something seems impossible. We try, it doesn't work, we try again. We learn, we improve, we fail again, but better, we make friends, we learn to trust, we help each other. We get it wrong again. We improve together, then ultimately succeed. Because this is what being alive is. And it's better than the alternative. So come on, you brilliant humans. We go again and we win. Deal?”
This stirring speech from “Eve of the Daleks” urges us to fail better. Which is how we ended up with the Cybermen, but that’s by the by.
7. “As hard as it is for you to understand, you are not the only life form in this universe. Some of us feel a duty to others who might be in trouble. So fix your wound, take one of your heroic naps, and we'll wake you when we leave, if you're lucky.”
Thirteen is all about encouraging people to be the best they can be. She’s never short of a speech aimed at kicking lazy or selfish people up the bum and making them work harder and better than before. “The Ghost Monument” contains an early example of this, showing blunt disregard for truculence or cynicism.
8. “Respect goes both ways. The best managers, the really good ones, value their staff and know instinctively if someone's in trouble, or is asking for help. Now, how good a manager are you? Know anyone who needs help?” – “Kerblam!”
…And bad management. She can’t stand that either.
9. “Honestly, if I was still a bloke, I could get on with the job and not have to waste time defending myself.” – “The Witchfinders”
And she’s got zero time at all for outdated sexist ideas about what women can and can’t do, too. The Doctor has been very inclusive and encouraging to people of all manner of different backgrounds. In many ways s/he is the ultimate woke social justice warrior.
10. “You want me to tell you that Earth's going to be okay? Cos I can't. In your time, humanity is busy arguing over the washing-up while the house burns down. Unless people face facts and change, catastrophe is coming. But it's not decided. You know that. The future is not fixed. It depends on billions of decisions, and actions, and people stepping up. Humans. I think you forget how powerful you are. Lives change worlds. People can save planets, or wreck them. That's the choice. Be the best of humanity. Or...” – “Orphan 55”

See what I mean? Eco-snowflake or what? And this is a theme that stretches back to old school Doctor Who eco-conservation serials such as “The Green Death” and every encounter with Silurians and Sea Devils. This narrative is so deeply embedded in the character that you can bet in 50 years’ time, the Thirty-Fifth Doctor is going to travel back to now and meet Greta Thunberg.
11. “You're wrong about humans. They're not pathetic, they're magnificent. They live with their fears, doubts, guilts. They face them down every day. and they prevail. That's not weakness. That's strength. That's what humanity is.” – “Can You Hear Me?”
Hear that? You’re magnificent. You may think what you’re doing is just coping with the stresses and strains of everyday life, but from an alien perspective, you’re doi g something heroic. Take it from the Time Lord, you’ve got this!
12. “I spend my life walking into new places and weighing things up fast. Who's who? Who has the power? Who's in danger? How fast danger is coming. Also, how likely my friends are to die. I've got good at figuring all of that out at speed.” – “Once, Upon Time”
This is excellent advice on how to keep your guard up too. Size up potential threats, work out what to do in the event of a crisis, be ready to get the biscuits out as soon as it is safe enough to do so.
13. “We're all capable of the most incredible change. We can evolve while still staying true to who we are. We can honour who we've been and choose who we want to be next. Now's your chance. How about it?”
To end where she came in, “The Woman Who Fell to Earth” gave us not one but two inspiration quotes that deserve to be made into memes and shared right away. There’s the one above, which is the big picture view of how we change as people over time, and then the one below, in which the Doctor grapples with what change feels like on a very granular, personal level, ending with a note of confused positivity:
“Right now, I'm a stranger to myself. There's echoes of who I was, and a sort of call towards who I am, and I have to hold my nerve and trust all these new instincts. Shape myself towards them. I'll be fine, in the end. Hopefully.”

Are you now ready to conquer the day!?
