"You've grown kinder, Musashi. That means you're getting stronger.

"All truly strong people are kind..."

"Be strong enough to be gentle"
-Larry Cullen, Peter Cullen's brother

“Take a gamble that love exists, and do a loving act” never fails to put a knot in my throat

As the saying goes, “Beware the anger of a good man.”

"The hands of a king are the hands of a healer." I love that line.

"a man who is good for anything ought not to calculate the chance of living or dying, he ought to consider whether in doing anything he is doing right or wrong" - Socrates, The Apology

The opening line of this video just tickled me for no reason.
“There’s a scene in Return of the King, where the King…returns.” 😂

Reminds me of what Peter Cullen was told by his older brother Larry before he auditioned for the role of Optimus Prime. "Be strong enough to be gentle"

BE LIKE IROH!

"For the sake of our children, we MUST be better"- Kratos

There is a scene in RDR2 after meeting Rain Falls (I think the one where you steal some stuff back from the army for him) where Arthur reflects after the mission, and states that not long ago, he would have thought Rain Falls was a coward and a fool, but now is beginning to think he maybe right. It's a bit I love because I think it's a nice bit of foreshadowing that Arthur is starting to see a new path, away from all of the gang's nonsense.

"Do not die for pride, my son. The earth, the water, they have no pride, yet they endure as we must endure."

In addition to Aragorn refusing to claim the crown until the war with Sauron was concluded he turned over leadership to Gandalf and encouraged everyone to follow him. Leadership was his but he had the humility to pass it on (at least temporarily) to one more capable.

"Demons run when a good man goes to war" - from Doctor Who

"From strength learn gentleness. Through gentleness, strength will prevail."
-Gouken

"Be strong enough to be gentle."
Larry Cullen, inspiration for the original Optimus Prime

22:30 "Be strong, be patient, be fearsome, be loyal, be courageous, be loving, be wise, be gentle." If I could get that as a motivational poster, that would be great.

"A strong man, who has known power all his life, may lose respect for that power. But a weak man knows the value of strength, and knows compassion. Whatever happens tomorrow, you must promise me one thing. That you will stay who you are. Not a perfect soldier, but a good man."

-Dr. Erskine to Steve Rogers before his super soldier transformation

Strength is quiet, weakness screams.

"Iroh and the mugger" has always been one of the scenes I've never been able to forget. Having the understanding of how muggers work enough to correct someone, being able to protect yourself, and end it all with a peaceful drink and a conversation for the muggers betterment is something I've always aspired to do.

I remember an episode of an Avengers cartoon where every member was turned into a Hulk-variant. Suddenly he was the wisest is how he dealt with the struggle. One quote He said that sticks with me is "Pretend this is an egg. Pretend everything thing is an egg."

Power is an agent of change, wrath is only one option of many. Healing, long-suffering, forgiveness, and building are all just as valid. Wisdom helps guide us on what facet is needed for the job.

Good video, made me think
