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

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

“I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.”

“It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.”

“Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?”

“It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all - in which case, you fail by default.”

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

“Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love.”

“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...”
