- You can't have beaten ALL these guys!
- The cards don't lie."
Clio, quoted from Yu-Gi-Oh's "Fighting For a Friend II"

"-I think it's time that you and I arrange a heart-to-heart.
 -King's don't need advice from little hornbills for a start.

 -Oh, I just can't wait to be King."
Sam, quoted from Disney's The Lion King

"A multitude of rulers is not a good thing. Let there be one ruler, one king."
Clio, quoted from Civilization IV (which originally quoted that from something else)

"-The time of the elves is over, Gandalf. My people are leaving these shores. Who will you look to when we've gone? The dwarves---they hide in their mountains seeking riches. They care nothing for the troubles of others.
 -It is in Men that we must place our hope.
 -Men? Men are weak. It is because of Men the Ring survives. I was there, Gandalf. I was there three thousand years ago. I was there the strength of Men failed. It should have ended that day, but evil was allowed to endure. There's no strength left in the world of men. They're scattered, divided, leaderless. The blood of N`umenor is all but spent, its pride and dignity forgotten.
 -There is one who could unite them---one who could reclaim the throne of Gondor.
 -He turned from that path a long time ago. He has chosen exile."
Sam, quoted from The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Film)

"- Someone new must take the throne; an idealist with a pure heart and unquestionable honor. It has to be YOU, Zuko.
- 'Unquestionable honor'? But I've made so many mistakes.
- Yes, you did. You struggled, and you suffered, but you always followed your own path. You restored your OWN honor, and only you can restore the honor of the Fire Nation.
- ... I'll try, Uncle."
Clio, quoted from Avatar's "Sozin's Comet: The Old Masters"

"An only child alone and wild,
A cab'net-maker's son.
His hands were meant for different work
And his heart was known to none
He left his home and went his lone
And solitary way
And he gave to me a gift I know
I never can repay"
Sam, quoted from Dan Folgerburg's "The Leader of the Band"

"It may not seem too classy,
Begging just to eat,
But you know who does that? Lassie,
And she always gets a treat.
You're wondering what your part is,
Since you're homeless and depressed,
But home is where the heart is,
So your real home's in your chest!"
Clio, quoted from Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog Act III

A long, long time ago,
We used to get our food homegrown
And toothpaste used to make you smile.
It used to be we'd shop with ease
Never eating antifreeze
We planned to go on living quite a while
But now our food is all delivered
From somewhere up the Yangtze River
No one knows the source there
So you might find some horse hair
But if corporations make a buck
They don't give a flying . . .Peking duck
And with this system we get stuck
Today . . .It makes you sigh."
Sam, quoted from Capitol Steps' "American Pie"

"- Stupid turtle-duck! Why did she have to do that?!
- Zuko, that's what moms are like. If you mess with their babies, -chomp!- they're gonna bite you back!"
Clio, quoted from Avatar's "Zuko Alone"

"-But I know one thing---you can't go through life thinkin' everybody's gonna one day let you down. Because if you do, a very bad thing will happen.
 -Oh, yeah?
 -You'll end out like me."

"People like you never win. Sure, your tricks might get you a little ways, but only until people with GOOD intentions show up-- like me! And like Yugi, too!"
Clio, quoted from Yu-Gi-Oh!'s "Keith's Machinations I"

"Oh, I hear tell the road to Hell
Is paved with good intentions
But Mama, my intentions were the best
There's lots of things in my life
I'd just as soon not mention
Looks like I turned out like all the rest
But Mama, my intentions were the best."
Sam, quoted from Randy Travis's "Good Intentions"

"Mama says,
Don't buy a chandelier,
Unless you've got a ceiling.
(I don't really know what that's about...)
Mama says,
Don't chew on tinfoil,
Unless you like that feeling.
Somehow she figured it out!
And mama says, it doesn't matter
If you're a king or you're a clown,
Once you drive up a mountain,
You can't back down!"
Clio, from Footloose (Musical)

"-You're outnumbered, Aragorn. You need more men.
 -There are none.
 -There are those who dwell in the mountain.
 -Murderers, traitors. You would call upon them to fight? They believe in nothing. They answer to no one.
 -They will answer to the King of Gondor. And`uril, Flame of the West, forged from the shards of Narsil. The man who can command this sword can command an army greater than any that walks this earth. Put aside the Ranger. Become who you were born to be."
CC, quoted from The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (Film)

"-You know, in older civilized cultures when a man had failed as completely as you have, he would throw himself on his sword.
 -Well, unfortunately, I forgot to bring a sword---"

Bumi: That's the one!"

CC, quoted from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

- I will never forget."
Clio, quoted (or possibly paraphrased) from Avatar's "The Southern Air Temple"

 I know of no reason
 Why the Gunpowder Treason
