Any quotes you absolutely love? Are they quotes from your favorite books, movies, and TV shows, things you or friends have said, or just good ol' proverbs or sayings? This is thread for them. I look forward to seeing what you all have to share. ;D
Here's mine:
"Be ye therefore as wise as serpeants, and harmless as doves."
~Matthew 10:16 B
"Lando: "Let me guess. You took it upon yourself to link yourself to the Upper Bloovatavian Historical Reference Data Bank and download her entire life story into that rusty tin head of yours."
C-3PO: "I am not familiar with Upper Bloovatavia, Captain Calrissian. However, the material on Gaeriel Captison was readily available in the Diplomatic Archives of Coruscant University. I might add that there was no tin at all used in the construction of my head, and, furthermore, tin does not rust."
Lando: "Luke, would it really bother you that much if I put just a few blaster holes in him?"
~Quote from the Corrillian Trilogy (Star Wars)
"But if we get chummy with organized crime making a living from drug running, extortion, and murder, then what exactly are we fighting for?
"Is this a test?"
"No, it's just me getting angry"
~Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano, from The Clone Wars, by Karen Traviss (the book's back in the library now, so I may not have remembered the quote exactly right)
You hold onto friends by keeping your heart a little softer than your head.
Fail with honor rather than succeed by fraud.
Ignore your instincts at your peril.
A few of the morals used in The Clones Wars series on CartoonNetwork.
"If you lose the wonder of your salvation, your heart can quickly become cold, and the enemy will have the advantage over you. Be careful; guard your heart for your King."
~The Terrestria Chronicles: The Sword, the Ring, and the Parchment
"That one looks hungry!"
"Naw. It's just smiling at you."
~Ahsoka Tano and Anakin Skywalker dodging Nebrays in the Kaliida Nebula, from the Clone Wars TV series
"Standing by a purpose true, heeding God's command. Honor them the faithful few! All hail to Daniel's Band!
Dare to be a Daniel, dare to stand alone, dare to have a purpose firm! Dare to make it known!
Many mighty men are lost, daring not to stand, who for God had been a host, by joining Daniel's Band!
Dare to be a Daniel, dare to stand alone, dare to have a purpose firm! Dare to make it known!
Many giants great and tall, stalking through the land, headlong to the earth would fall, if met by Daniel's Band!
Dare to be a Daniel, dare to stand alone, dare to have a purpose firm! Dare to make it known!
Hold the Gospel banner high! On to victory grand! Satan and his host defy, and shout for Daniel's Band!
Dare to be a Daniel, are to stand alone, dare to have a purpose firm! Dare to make it known!
~Okay, this one's a song, but it's still technically a quote, right?
"Here is where it starts, with the conviction of the heart. Making a change right where we are, until we see the heavens part. We're on a journey to forever and here is (here is) where it starts."
~A song on the radio
"He's teaching me to listen. Hear the laughter in the rain. See the beauty in the lightning. The storm's a passing thing. There's music in the thunder, the winds are nothing more. Then a Voice just reminds me, we've weathered storms before."
~Sailing with the Master, a song on the radio.
Obi-Wan gave him a severe look. "You should not be concerned with Senator Sauro's reaction. What does it matter if a corrupt man laughs at us? It should be less than the whisper of a gnatfly's wings to us."
Anakin stared at him. "He has made fools of us."
"No, padawan," Obi-Wan said firmly. "If your path is the right one, no one has that power. Those who seek to make fools of others are fools themselves."
~from Jedi Quest: The School of Fear, by Jude Watson
Padmé: "We can't let our love force you out of the Order—"
Anakin: "Force me out of the Order? Was that a pun?"
―Padmé Amidala and Anakin Skywalker, from the Revenge of the Sith novel (never read it, just found the quote and it's source on Wookieepedia)
Vader: "See-threepio, Artoo never told you what happened to your creator."
C-3PO: "He informed me sufficiently. He told me you killed him."
Vader: "No... I am your creator!"
C-3PO: "No... no... That's not true. That's impossible! The odds against you being my creator are..."
Vader: "Search your feelings, You know it to be true."
C-3PO: "Noooo!! You see, sir, shortly after the Jedi were wiped out, my memory was erased. So that could explain why I'm having difficulty verifying your statement."

Luke: "Your feelings betray you, Ben."
Ben: "Betray me? Do they stab me in the back, or do they just give me a swift kick in the butt?"
―Luke and Ben Skywalker, on Endor
"Sorry about my last message. Dad assures me that whining is a family trait and that I should be over it by the time I'm thirty, but that's not much comfort, because if you're any example, it just turns into complaining."
―Ben Skywalker, in a message to Jaina Solo
C-3PO: "You can't possibly be more confused than I am."
R2-D2: "YOU'RE RIGHT. NOBODY CAN BE MORE CONFUSED THAN YOU ARE."
―C-3PO and R2-D2, discussing Anakin's behavior
Jaina: "Jag, do you even know how to use a lightsaber?"
Jag: "I know Lesson One. Don't grab the glowy end."
―Jaina Solo, to Jagged Fel, on Kashyyyk during the Second Galactic Civil War
"So this is how liberty dies. With thunderous applause."
―Padmé Amidala
"Input: Audio entreaty, human range, desperation nuance. Prescribed action: Alert companions. Probable outcome: Admonition to stop 'hearing things.' Projected accuracy of peer judgement: 94%. Conclusion: What the heck..."
―R2-D2 (Man, I just love little Artoo!)
Han: "Look at the size of it! It's way too big to be a… a space… station. Oh boy."
Luke: "Ben, you're right. I have a very bad feeling about this."
Han: "So you get those too?"
— Han Solo and Luke Skywalker, approaching the first Death Star
Obi-Wan: "Quinlan, where's my starfighter?"
Quinlan: "Had to blow it up to keep it from falling into Skorr's hands. A good Jedi doesn't need possessions anyway."
Obi-Wan: "You have your ship!"
Quinlan: "Yeah, but I'm not a very good Jedi, am I?"
―Obi-Wan Kenobi and Quinlan Vos, after escaping an encounter with Tol Skorr and Asajj Ventress on the Titavian IV
Obi-Wan: "Well, that's the second starfighter I've lost in as many days!"
Quinlan: "Good thing you didn't form attachments to them."
Obi-Wan: "Be quiet."
— Obi-Wan Kenobi and Quinlan Vos, after crash-landing in a hangar bay
"The day we lose the will to fight is the day we lose our freedom."
