Albus Dumbledore

And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

But you know, happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.

Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open.

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

For in dreams we enter a world that is entirely our own.

Have you any idea how much tyrants fear the people they oppress? All of them realize that, one day, amongst their many victims, there is sure to be one who rises against them and strikes back!

I am not worried, Harry…I am with you.

It is a curious thing, Harry, but perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it. Those who, like you, have leadership thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well.

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

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

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

The happiest man on earth would be able to use the Mirror of Erised like a normal mirror, that is, he would look into it and see himself exactly as he is. Does that help.

Words are, in my not so humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it.

You think the dead we loved ever truly leave us? You think that we don’t recall them more clearly than ever in times of great trouble?

You will also find that help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it.
