Some wonderful quotes from Avatar: The Last Airbender
Iroh: Pride is not the opposite of shame, but its source. True humility is the only antidote to shame.
Iroh: There is nothing wrong with a life of peace and propserity. I suggest you think about what it is you want from your life, and why.
Iroh: While it’s always best to belive in one’s self, a little help from others can be a great blessing!
Iroh: You must never give in to despair. Allow yourself to slip down that road and you surrender to your lowest instincts. In the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself. That is the meaning of inner strength.
Iroh: It is important to draw wisdom from many places. If you tale it from only one place, it becomes rigid and stale.
Iroh: Protection and power are overrated. I think you are very wise to choose happiness and love.
Iroh: Sometimes life is like this tunnel. You can’t always see the light at the end of the tunnel, but if you keep moving, you will come to a better place.
Iroh: There is nothing wrong with letting the people who love you help you. Not that I love you, I just met you!
Iroh: Sharing tea with a fascinating stranger is one of life’s true delights!
Iroh: Are you so busy fighting you cannot see your own ship has set sail? (hehe)
Iroh: With a poor stance you are unbalanced and can be easily knocked over. With a solid stance you are a much more serious threat!
Iroh: Is it your own destiny, or is it a destiny someone else has tried to force on you?
Iroh: It’s time for you to look inward and begin asking yourself the big questions: Who are you? and What do you want?
Iroh: Now you’ve come to the crossroads of your destiny. It’s time for you to choose. It’s time for you to choose good.
Iroh: I was never angry with you. I was sad, because I was afraid you’d lost your way.
Iroh: Life happens wherever you are, whether you make it or not.
Iroh: Leaves from the vine, falling so slow, like fragile, tiny shells, drifting in the foam. Little soldier boy, come marching home. Brave soldier boy, comes marching home.
Lion Turtle: The true mind can weather all lies and illusions without being lost. The true heart can tough the poison of hatred without being harmed. Since beginningless time, darkness thrives in the world, but always yields to purifying light.
Lion Turtle: To bend another’s energy, your own spirit must be unbendable… or else you will be corrupted and destroyed.
Avatar Roku: Some frienships are so strong, they can even transcend lifetimes.
Avatar Roku: When love is real, it finds a way.
Aang: It’s easy to do nothing, it’s hard to forgive.
Aang: The past can be a great teacher.
Aang: When we hit our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change.
Aang: What?! I’m saying I’d rather kiss you than die! That’s a compliment! :/
Aang: If anything, their story proves anyone is capable of great good and great evil. Everyone, even the Fire Lord and the Fire Nation, have to be treated like they’re worth giving a chance.
Aang: Baby, you’re my forever girl. ;)
Avatar State Aang: FIRE LORD OZAI, YOU AND YOUR FOREFATHERS HAVE DEVASTATED THE BALANCE OF THIS WORLD. AND NOW, YOU SHALL PAY THE ULTIMATE PRICE!
Aang: No, Firelord Ozai, you’re not wearing any pants! >:(
Katara: But now you’re not letting yourself feel anything. I know sometimes it hurts more to hope and it hurts more to care. But you have to promise me that you won’t stop caring.
Katara: Yes, they have taken away your ability to bend, but they can’t take away your courage and it is your courage they should truly fear! Because it runs deeper than any mine you’ve been forced to dig, any ocean that keeps you far from home. It is the strength of your hearts that make you who you are, hearts that will remain unbroken when all rock and stone has eroded away. The time to fight back is now!
Guru Pathik: You must learn to let go.
Guru Pathik: The greatest illusion of this world is the illusion of separation.
Huu: Pants are an illusion, and so is death.
Huu: You think you’re any different from me, or your friends, or this tree? If you listen hard enough, you can hear every living thing breathing together. You can feel everything growing. We are all living together, even if most folks don’t act like it. We all have the same roots, and we are all branches of the same tree.
Zuko: I know now that no one can give you your honour. It’s something you earn for yourself by doing what is right.
Zuko: Sometimes clouds have two sides, a dark and light, and a silver lining in between. It’s like a silver sandwich! So when life seems hard, take a bite out of the silver sandwich!
Zuko: You must look within yourself, to save yourself from your other self. Only then, your true self will reveal itself. :’)
Sifu Pakku: With fierce determination, passion, and hard work, you can accomplish anything.
Bumi: You need to find someone who waits and listens before striking.
Smellerbee: As long as I’m confident with who I am, it doesn’t matter what other people think.
Cave of Lovers Inscription: Love is brightest in the dark
