For some to love you, some must loathe you.

What's life without a little risk?

It is not our abilities that show what we truly are. It is our choices.

We've all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are.

Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.

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

We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all of the power we need inside ourselves already.

The world is full of wonderful things you haven't seen yet. Don't ever give up on the chance of seeing them.

There is an expiry date on blaming your parents for steering you in the wrong direction; the moment you are old enough to take the wheel, responsibility lies with you.

Gryffindor, where dwell the brave at heart!

Maybe if I didn't have the talent in chess I'd find the talent in something else. The only thing I know is that I have talent in chess, and I'm satisfied with that.

Are we at last brought to such an humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense?

If we want foxes, to observe and delight in, we must have hunting.

When people think you are speaking against them as a group, they try to shut it down out here.

I really believe things happen for a reason, and sometimes that reason isn't revealed until much much, much, much later.
