"Everybody's desperately afraid, to be different, you know, in any way. And then [...], almost overnight, everybody wants to be different. And that is where we win."
While they didn't share much screentime together, there was a great moment between Manny and Mitchell in the first season that resonated deeply with fans. Since Manny had been struggling to fit into school because many of his peers thought he was "weird," Mitchell had some sage and helpful advice. The kids at his school were wrong to say that his interests and idiosyncrasies are strange because they're not. They are the things that make a person unique. So just because someone doesn't see why...
"Life is full of changes [...] you can fight it or try to make the best of it. And that's all a lot easier if you've got the people who love you to help."
With all the characters going their separate ways at the end of season 11, many fans wondered how they would cope after they all made some major life changes. Naturally, this created a bit of anxiety as they were entering unknown territory. However, Jay ended up stating that they would all end up okay because they still had the support of each other - no matter what. This was something that deeply resonated with fans, especially since big change can make any feel out of their comfort. However...
"People can surprise you. You can get used to thinking of them one way [...] And then they do something that there's all this depth and dimension that you never knew existed."
It's no secret that Mitchell could be close-minded and judgmental when he wanted to be, so it was quite refreshing that he did attempt to change his views of the world and of people in general. This was particularly seen in season 2 when Mitchell makes a passing comment about Rob Lowe's acting skills, which was actually very thought-provoking and beautiful when fans look closely at it.

"Why not just live your limited days with leaving nothing unsaid. Tell the people who matter the most how you feel."
In the 11 seasons that fans have watched Modern Family, Mitchell and Jay were seen to have a tumultuous relationship and often struggled to open up to one another about their feelings. However, when they went up to the woods with Cam and Phil, Cam gave the best piece of advice that offered Modern Familyfans a good life lesson, which also helped the character bond a bit too. Since life can be unpredictable at times, there have been a few occasions where a person has regretted not telling a fam...
"Every time anyone accomplishes anything, [they] achieve it with the help of a thousand silent heroes."
While Alex was probably the most independent person on the show and prided herself on her achievement, many fans thought it was quite sweet that she acknowledged that her family was always there in the background, supporting her along the way. It was certainly something that fans also found relatable too as they have likely had individuals in their lives who have helped them with big milestones. What's more - the team behind them doesn't get the recognition they deserve. Sometimes, it's nice...
"The hero in my family is my family, because of who we are together."
When Manny had to write an assignment about who the hero in his family was, he was at a crossroads. Sure, it was incredibly entertaining to watch him cross people off the list as he witnessed some of their pettiness and more juvenile side. But the best quote came at the very end of the episode. RELATED: One Quote From Each Main Character In Modern Family That Goes Against Their Personality Manny realized that even though they were all completely different, at the end of the day, as a unit, th...
"Family is family. Whether it's the one you start out with, the one you end up with, or the family you gain along the way."
One of the best things about Modern Family is the way it depicts, well, a family. Behind this quote from Gloria, there is a beautiful sentiment that many fans will get behind. Because while many people are lucky to be born into a family that they love, others are not so blessed. But the good thing is, family is not just about blood. Family is about love, and a person gets to choose who they want to be their family. Gloria, Manny, Cam, Phil, and Lily, all came into the Pritchett's lives later...
"It's scary to let people see the real you. Even when those people are your own family. But aren't they [...] The ones who will love us without judging? Who will forgive our faults and celebrate ou...
Considering that he was one of the youngest characters on the show, it amazed Modern Family fans that Manny came up with some of the wisest quotesanyone has ever heard. This one in particular was rather comforting and inspiring for some viewers as it reassured them that there would always be someone who wouldn't judge them and excepted their flaws. Because at the end of the day, those who love them love them for who they are. A person doesn't have to be afraid of not being perfect, because th...
"It’s gonna be tough to say goodbye… it always is. Nobody loves change. But part of life is learning to let things go."
Saying goodbye is an inevitable part of life. Whether it is saying farewell to a good friend that is moving away or a child that is off to begin a new chapter of their lives, learning how to let go is a necessary part of our existence.

"Sometimes things work out just the way you want. Sometimes they don't. But you have to hang in there because 90% of being a dad is just showing up."
What makes a good parent? That is a question everyone who's ever had to raise a child asks themselves over and over again. There is no rulebook for this - that would simply be too easy. However, Modern Family did provide some helpful parenting tipsthat also helped ease some of the fans' fears. Jay's quote certainly provided some comfort as he informed the audience of why Claire and Mitchell loved him so much - it's because he was a reliable figure in their lives. While there were certainly si...

- 11 Seasons. No clunkers. The “Modern Family” pilot didn’t have the show’s formula all worked out quite yet. It came close, though. And the following seasons delivered on the show’s promise.
- Funny, Funny Funny. It’s the prime directive of any sitcom, and “Modern Family” made us howl over and again. Pratfalls. Puns. Miscommunications. Deadpan reactions.
- Progressive AND Anti-Woke. “Modern Family” straddled the line between the pre- and uber-woke eras. The show bowed in 2009, a time when comedies could still muck around with topics without fear of cancellation (the cultural kind).
- Jay Pritchett. Ed O’Neill said he had little interest in starring in another half-hour sitcom prior to “Modern Family.” Been there, made history with “Married … with Children,” another classic show that ran out of steam in its later years.
