You place too much importance... on the so-called purity of
blood! You fail to recognize that it matters not what someone
is born, but what they grow to be.

We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are
divided. Lord Voldemort's gift for spreading discord and enmity
is very great. We can fight it only by showing an equally strong
bond of friendship and trust. Differences of habit and language
are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts
are open.
Albus Dumbledore
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. |
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 across the path of Lord Voldemort.
Albus Dumbledore

Dark and difficult times lie ahead. Soon we must all face
the choice between what is right and what is easy.

Indifference and neglect often do much more damage than outright
dislike.

Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are
guilty if they forget what it was to be young.

Indeed, your failure to understand that there are things much
worse than death has always been your greatest weakness.
Albus Dumbledore

Harry, suffering like this proves you are still a man! This
pain is part of being human … the fact that you can feel
pain like this is your greatest strength.

Indifference and neglect often do much more damage than outright
dislike ...We wizards have mistreated and abused our fellows
for too long, and we are now reaping our reward.
Albus Dumbledore

He chose the boy he thought most likely to be a danger to
him ... and notice this, Harry. He chose, not the pureblood
(which according to his creed, is the only kind of wizard worth
being or knowing), but the half-blood, like himself. He saw
himself in you before he had ever seen you, and in marking you
with that scar, he did not kill you, as he intended, but gave
you powers, and a future, which have fitted you to escape him
not once, but four times so far.
