Grand Jedi Master Yoda is among the oldest and most powerful known Jedi Masters in the "Star Wars" franchise, created by George Lucas.

Regardless of whether you’re a follower of the "Star Wars" movies, you’re bound to recognize the oh-so-familiar face of that little two-foot-tall green alien with seemingly infinite wisdom, and might not even know that you're familiar with Yoda quotes from the series.

Yoda played an integral role in training Luke Skywalker, imparting his wisdom throughout the storyline. Yoda's most famous quote is something even non-"Star Wars" fans have heard: "Do or do not. There is no try."

His timeless lessons bounce right off of the movie screen and into our hearts, reminding us that even fictional stories and characters can make an impact in our everyday lives and even our relationships.

That's why May 21, 2022 is Talk Like Yoda Day.

All of us could use a little advice when the going gets tough, but not all of us want to hear the same old sayings telling us that we need to "hang in there." Some of us just want to forget about our troubles for a few minutes and watch something to distract ourselves.

But little do we know that the very thing we're watching — outer space and using "the Force" to lead the way to victory — can also teach us a thing or two about ourselves and how we live our own (real) lives.

Yoda's philosophy — Stoicism, which is the practice of going through hardship without verbally or physically expressing emotions or protest — shapes his unique point of view, giving us countless nuggets of wisdom. Even on his deathbed, Yoda's last words reveal an important truth that helps his students move forward: "Pass on what you have learned."

Take a look below at the best Yoda quotes that you can apply to your own real-world life, and continue to spread the message:

May the Force be with you.
