Avatar quotes that are meaningful and inspirational

[Lostlove<3]

Hellooo guys that are reading this thread! soo i searched around and haven't seen anything like this so i decided to make a thread where we could share our favorite MEANINGFUL quotes that we have heard throughout the show. i don't want this to be like silly quotes...like the cabbage man or whatever but legitimate ones that you guys actually felt in ur heart...like oh, this makes sense and relates to me in a more powerful way than before.

i'll start first and feel free to add more than one! and hopefully we can all relate to them and add insight on what we think it means and how it has reflected our lives. also, include who said it and in what episode if possible!

Katara: I dont know if I'm too weak to do it, or strong enough not to. - the southern raiders


This quote questions the opposite forces. Its like an internal struggle but a realization that is more important than both

These are some of my favorite Iroh Quotes:

"You are not the man you used to be. You are stronger and wiser and freer than you ever used to be. And now you have come at the crossroads of the destiny. Its time for you to choose. Its time for you to choose good."

Aang: Well, I met with this guru who was supposed to help me master the Avatar State, and control this great power. But to do it, I had to let go of someone I love. And I just couldn't.
Uncle Iroh: Protection and power are overrated. I think you are very wise to choose happiness and love.

"Life happens wherever you are, whether you make it or not."

"You must never give into dispair. 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."

[EarthKing922]

The true mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost. The true heart can touch the poison of hatred without being harmed. Since beginning-less time, darkness thrives in the void, but always yields to purifying light. --The Awesome Lion Turtle

[Snake of the South]

Uncle Iroh: "You know, Prince Zuko, destiny is a funny thing. You never know how things are going to work out. But if you keep an open mind and an open heart, I promise you will find your own destiny someday."

Guru Pathik: "You have indeed felt a great loss. But love is a form of energy, and it swirls all around us. The Air Nomads love for you has not left this world. It is still inside of your heart, and is reborn in the form of new love."

[Kaji]

Zuko: Yeah, that's what I'd say too. How am I supposed to convince these people that I'm on their side?! What would Uncle do? (imitating Iroh) Zuko, you have to look within yourself, to save yourself from your other self. Only then will your true self, reveal itself. (normal voice) Even when I'm talking for him, I can't figure out what he means. What would Azula do? (imitating Azula): Listen, Avatar, I can join your group or I can do something unspeakably horrible to you and your friends. Your choice. (normal voice): I guess I'm not that good at impersonations.

I can't recall, but there were really strong and deep quotes from the series...
The only one I remembered well was of Zuko at the north pole:
"You rise with the moon; I rise with the sun!"

[D3stiny_Sm4sher]

Surprised this one isn't here yet, because consistently, all of my friends think is one of the series' most "sage" quotes:

"Pride is not the opposite of shame, but its source. True humility is the only antidote to shame." ~ Iroh
