Itachi best quotes...Btw i like them all they nor in order from best to less :)

1."My capacity...I've lost all hope for this pathetic clan...the clan...the clan...all of you without measuring your own capacities had no idea of mine and now u lie here defeated"

2. "You and I are flesh and blood. I'm always going to be there for you, even if it's only as an obstacle for you to overcome. Even if you do hate me. That's what big brothers are for."

3."I've had enough, there's no hope left for this pathetic clan."
"The people of this clan are all the same. You focus on the trivial, and lose sight of what's most important. Change is impossible, in this fog of ignorance. How can we evolve when regulation is all we know?"

4. "Foolish little brother, if you wish to kill me, hate me, detest me. And yet survive in an unsightly way. Run, run and cling to life, and when you have the same eyes as mine, come to me."

5. "Those who turn their hands against their comrades are sure to die a terrible death."

6. "People live their lives bound by what they accept as correct and true. That's how they define "reality". But what does it mean to be "correct" or "true"? Merely vague concepts ... their "reality" may all be a mirage. Can we consider them to simply be living in their own world, shaped by their beliefs?"

7. "Don't cry, Sasuke. Your big brother is here to protect you, no matter what happens."
These are definitely great quotes (in fact, Itachi had among the best quotes in the whole manga). I didn't put any though as these are mostly related to the manga only unlike the other ones except that I regret that I forgot the 6th one. Sorry to have forgotten the 6th one...:p

My favorite quote comes from Haku and I truly believe it with all my heart. "When someone has someone precious to protect, that is when they become truly strong."
Damn, I forgot this one too :p

I liked Kankuro's art lesson other than that I really like Asuma's lesson on who is king
Asuma's lesson is related to the Will of Fire though...:p

Well I dunno the exact words but I like it when Sakura says

"Next time, when you go to get Sasuke I'm coming too"

It shows that she knows that she was a burden to everyone and that she is going to make an effort to train her best. And then she came back much stronger so I really like that quote.
Damn, I forgot these! Okay, Kishi pass a very important message with this one. Don't have useless hypocrite friends like Sakura around you in life xd

I could not agree more, KC. Kishi's work on Naruto does seem to be more inclined to getting lessons in life rather than bloody battles. This is in fact the very thing that makes Naruto exceptionally unique.

Naruto's "I never go back on my word" wields a lot of things other than determination.

Madara's quote though is something I think I've missed. "The moment people come to know love, they run the risk of carrying hate." So, this one caught my attention most as of this very moment.

There was something about love and hate that I forgot. I think its the thought of hate not being the opposite of love. I remember clearly though that a person would never really know of hate if he haven't felt love. Thus, Madara's words.
I prefer Jiraiya's but still I must agree that Madara's is awesome...

Nagato:

"We are but men, drawn to act in the name of revenge we deem to be justice. But when we call our vengeance justice, it only breeds more revenge... forging the first link in the chains of hatred."

"We're both of the same breed, after all ... motives for war are of no concern. Religion, ideology, resources, land, grudges, love, or just because... No matter how pathetic the reason, it's enough to start a war."

Itachi:

"People live their lives bound by what they accept as correct and true. That's how they define "reality". But what does it mean to be "correct" or "true"? Merely vague concepts ... their "reality" may all be a mirage. Can we consider them to simply be living in their own world, shaped by their beliefs?"

"We are humans, not fish. We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realize what you are. That's what death is, don't you think?"

Gaara:

"Up until now, my bonds with others have only been ones of hatred and murder. But, seeing him fight so hard made me wonder what a bond really is. I think I understand a little now. Suffering, sadness... and joy. To be able to share it with another person. Naruto Uzumaki... when I fought him, I feel that is what he taught me"

"I am a relic they want to get rid of, so why do I exist and live? In order to exist you need a purpose, to exist for no reason is the same as being dead... I would love only myself and fight for only myself. If all other people exist to magnify that love, then there is no more a splendid universe than this one..."

Kakashi:

"The next generation will always surpass the previous one. It's one of the never-ending cycles in life."

Naruto:

"I don't care who I have to fight... If he rips my arms off, I'll kick him to death. If he rips my legs off, I'll bite him to death. If he rips my head off, I'll stare him to death. And if he gouges my eyes, I'll curse him to death... Even if I'm torn to shreds... I will find a way to take Sasuke back!"

Jiraiya:

"When people get hurt, they learn to hate... when people hurt others, they become hated and racked with guilt. But knowing that pain allows people to be kind. Pain allows people to grow... and how you grow is up to you."

"You're wrong, that's not what makes a shinobi. You never did get it, a real ninja is one who endures no matter what gets thrown at him... Let me explain something to you, there is only one thing that matters if you are a shinobi, and it isn't the number of jutsu you possess. All you do need, is the guts to never give up."
Well, I regret the ones I underlined :p Sorry:eek:

How can you forget all of the memorable quotes Nagato (Pain) Preached to Naruto about pain,justice, and peace. Those have to be my all time favorite.
I forgot one (sorry) but all his other quotes mostly delivers the same message as Madara's...

One error, the Jiraiya to Naruto one is actually Naruto to 3tails control filler kid. (I forgot his name >.>)
Well, basically Jiraiya said it to Naruto first and then Naruto kept blabbering the same thing to that kid...:p

I don't think so.

You think you're the only ones who matter. You think you can put off death. But that peace made you foolish and thoughtless. If you kill someone, someone else will kill you... this hatred binds us together."
I see... That is noble of you. That is justice indeed. However... My family...My friends... My village... They suffered the same fate as this village by you ninjas of Konoha. How is it fair to allow only you people to preach about peace and justice?

Asuma's lesson is related to the Will of Fire though...:p
I liked my lessons more centered around something specific. Hence I prefer Asuma's protect the next generation over the entire spectrum of what the will of fire covers.

Another reason why I liked Kankuro, Sasori and Deidara's all differing art philosophy.

I don't think so.

Nagato:
Well, it's a mix of both Madara's and Sasuke's. Through Madara, Kishi tries to explain how love and hatred are related and triggered everything (the storyline...) and through Sasuke, how darkness and hatred make you do devious deeds...

Nagato explains almost the same thing. Still, I should have posted 1 or 2 from him :p but not all. This isn't an all-favorite quote poll but rather the quotes that deliver the same. Some quote may be better than other (especially I'm Nagato fan) but if it delivers almost the same message, it doesn't really matter xd

Its not even so much what is said as what happens, at the end of the Negato/Invasion of Pain arc. Naruto, wants to kill Negato for what he did to his master. But insteaad of acting and being impulsive like Sauske, he asks Negato to tell his story/histrory. And Naruto and Negato came to a common understanding.

id have to go with naruto's quote " i never go back on my word"
i believe this quote is very important and a powerful influence because it gives you the drive you need to achieve the goals you probably couldn't achieve if you didn't have this mindset. Also i think everybody should never go back on their word, if people followed through with half the things they promise to somebody else, or even their selves i think it would make this world a better place for everybody.

on a side note. great post!

I think the best piece of philosophy would be the guts to never give up.

Giving up is so easy. That's why we have a lot of wusses walking around the world today.

Yeah, but she was not being a hypocrite in that instance as she went with naruto to retrieve sakura like she said she would. And, she actually tried to use force to bring him back unlike naruto who did nothing.

"The next generation will always surpass the previous one."

I hate this phrase, this is easily one the most misunderstood line naruto. Don't take it too serious plz people.

As for my favorite line, is probably this one by the so6p

(As quoted by Jiraiya) "I am the one who will establish peace and order."
It's not misunderstood at all...
It's completely true bro.

Jiraiya has some of my most favorite quotes. Like pretty much everything he said at the time of his death I absolutely love. Plus just the way he lived and his personality is really something to mold yourself after. Pervyness can go either way :p

"In the ninja world, those who break the rules are scum, that's true, but those who abandon their comrades are worse than scum."

I also liked narutos
"I never go back on my word.Thats my ninja way"

also hinata says some stuff during her fight with neji..forgot the dialogues..but they were quite awesome

Actually...I hate Danzo...a lot. But he had a good quote.
"You are the leaves that bathe in the sun, and I am the roots that grow in the dark"
Sounds nice, and has many good meanings.
Here he admits he's not as charismatic and amazing as Hiruzen, but he says he will still strive to make a change in the shinobi world (in the background).
Or he could also be saying, that he'll make himself do the 'ugly' (dark) work, for the sake of his society. (konoha/shinobi world).
So you can get the lessons of perseverance + understanding your not perfect.
