You know why big brothers are born first? To protect the little ones that come after them.
Kurosaki Ichigo (Bleach)

When I think of life, I think of a small journey. A journey that only lasts for a short time compared to the universe we were born in. Why do we try to survive when we know our existance will soon after fade. Why do we live? Is there a reason we're born into this world? But as my mind wanders, I realize that it doesn't matter why we're here. We're here to live life to the fullest. We're here to explore. To make friends. Or maybe enemies...But the point is we're here. And as long as im here, I want to live my life to the fullest..with the people I love. Such a short lifespan is given to us...and for what purpose. We learn so many things...But for what?.
Kuchiki Rukia (Bleach)

◦Remember this well. There are two types of fights. As we have put our lives in battle, we must be able to distinguish between the two.
The fight to protect life, and the fight to protect pride.
Ukitake Jushiro (Bleach)

◦I've never seen any miracles, but i've sure seen lots of dead people.
Duo Maxwell (Gundam Wing)

◦The world isn't perfect, and the law is incomplete. Equivalent Exchange doesn't encompass everything that goes on here. But I still choose to believe in its principle: that all things do come at a price. That there's an ebb, and a flow, a cycle. That the pain we went through did have a reward and that anyone who's determined and perseveres will get something of value in return, even if it's not what they expected.
Alphonse Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist)

◦Why do humans always look to the sky? Why do you try so hard to fly when you don't have any wings?
Kiba (Wolf's Rain)

◦You killed them. Even though they did terrible things, the decision of who should and who should not live was never and never will be yours to make!.
Vash the Stampede (Trigun)

◦For there to be pain, there has to be kindness. For darkness to stand out, there has to be the sun.
Kyoko Honda (Fruits Basket)

◦A dropout will beat a genius through hard work.
Rock Lee (Naruto)

◦They say that we should love ourself first before other people learn to love us. but it's not as easy as it seems. sometimes, we need someone to accept us and love us first. then, we would learn to see ourselves through that person's eyes and learn to love ourself.
Sohma Yuki (Fruits Basket)

◦Possibly humans can exist without actually having to fight. But, many of us have chosen to fight. For what reason? To protect something? Protect what? Ourselves? The future? If we kill people to protect ourselves and this future then what sort of future is it and what will we have become? There is no future for those who have died. And what of those who did the killing? Is happiness to be found in a future that is grasped with blood stained hands? Is that the truth?.

It is easier to appear worthy of a position one does not hold, than of the office which one fills. -François de La Rochefoucauld

“In ambition, as in love, the successful can afford to be indulgent toward their rivals. The prize our own, it is graceful to recognize the merit that vainly aspired to it.” - Christian Nevell Bovee

◦All they saw in me was another little ghetto rat with no power and no God. What's left for a poor little Chinese bitch to rely on? It's money of course. And guns. Fuckin' A, with these two things, the world is a great place.

“Self-distrust is the cause of most of our failure. In the assurance of strength there is strength, and, they are the weakest, however strong, who have no faith in themselves or their powers.” - Christian Nevell Bovee

Henry Ford quote: “If you think you can or think you cannot, you are correct.”

“Someone receives a promotion, gets an important assignment, makes a major discovery, or moves into the president's office. ''He's lucky',' an envious person remarks. ''He gets the breaks; they're always in his favor'.' In reality, luck or the breaks of life had little or nothing to do with it. So-called ''luck'' usually is found at the exact point where preparation meets opportunity. For a time, an individual may get ahead by ''pull',' but eventually someone with push will displace him. Success is not due to a fortuitous concourse of stars at our birth, but to a steady trail of sparks from the grindstone of hard work each day.” - Kenneth Hildebrand
