Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore

"To the well organized mind, death is but the next great adventure."

"It is our choices...that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities."

"Fear of a name increases fear of a thing itself."

"Humans have a knack for choosing precisely the things that are worst for them."

"Remember Cedric. Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort. Remember Cedric Diggory."

"Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!"

"It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live."

"...The best of us must sometimes eat our words."

"Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it is to be young."

"...We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided...We can fight...only by showing an equally strong bond of friendship and trust. Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open."

"...It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be."

"...Pursue that flighty temptress, adventure."

"...Sadly, accidental rudeness occurs alarmingly often."

"It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more."

"It is important to fight, and fight again, and keep fighting, for only then can evil be kept at bay, though never quite eradicated."

"There are all kinds of courage. It takes a great deal of courage to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends."

"We must try not to sink beneath our anguish...but battle on."

"Don't count your owls before they are delivered."

"There is nothing to be feared from a body...any more than there is anything to be feared from the darkness."

"Have you any idea how much tyrants fear the people they oppress?"
