Believing in yourself is your biggest strength and your biggest weakness.

Never go back on your word... and never give up. That's your ninja way... and as your mentor... I have no business whining!

- Jiraiya

The true measure of a shinobi is not how he lives but how he dies.

- Jiraiya

Even I can tell that hatred is spreading. I wanted to do something about it... but I don't know what.

- 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.

There, that ending... was a little better. The frog at the bottom of the well drifts off into the great ocean. Heh heh... yep... pretty damn honorable... pretty damn honorable...

I believe that someday the day will come when people truly understand one another!

The only time a woman's words mean anything is when she's talking about love.

A place where someone still thinks about you is a place you can call home.

Rejection is a part of any man's life. If you can't accept and move past rejection, or at least use it as writing material - you're not a real man!

Now, now, stay calm. I'm sure you can think of something. You're the only one who can fix this situation.

- Jiraiya

All right! Let's see the best you've got!

Never underestimate your opponent, no matter how small they may seem.

Once you've honed a skill, you can use it to accomplish anything.

Sometimes you must hurt in order to know, fall in order to grow, lose in order to gain because life's greatest lessons are learned through pain.

- Jiraiya

It's not the face that makes someone a monster, it's the choices they make with their lives.

- Jiraiya

The truth is, everyone is winging it. Everyone is figuring it out as they go along.

- Jiraiya

The key to a good story is not who, or what, or when, but why.

Wherever someone thinks of you, that's where home is.

- Jiraiya

The pain of being alone is completely out of this world, isn't it? I don't know why, but I understand your feelings so much, it actually hurts.

- Jiraiya

A story is only as good as its final turn of events... but it's characters are the key to spinning a masterpiece.
