Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore is the greatest wizard to ever live. That’s just a fact that all Harry Potter fans know. Over the years that Harry and the gang got to know him, we saw him as a brilliant mentor, and then learned that not all of our heroes have lived easy and honest lives. But it’s Dumbledore’s experiences in life that lead him to become a profoundly wise older wizard that often dropped knowledge on Harry and his crew.
1. “Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?”
2. “It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”
3. “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”
4. “Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it.”
5. “Do not pity the dead Harry. Pity the living, and, above all, those who live without love.”
6. “After all, to the well organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.”
7. “Numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it.”
8. “We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.”
9. “I am not worried, Harry. I am with you.”
10. “What happened down in the dungeons between you and Professor Quirrell is a complete secret, so, naturally the whole school knows.”
11. “It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more.”
12. “You care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it.”
13. “Curiosity is not a sin…. But we should exercise caution with our curiosity.”
14. “Age is foolish and forgetful when it underestimates youth.”
15. “It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember that.”
16. “The truth. It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with great caution.”
17. “You fail to recognize that it matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be!”
18. “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.”
