Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words. And here they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!
- Albus Dumbledore
After all, to the well - organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.
- Albus Dumbledore
What happened down in the dungeons between you and Professor Quirrell is a complete secret, so, naturally the whole school knows.
- Albus Dumbledore
As much money and life as you could want! The two things most human beings would choose above all - the trouble is, humans do have a knack of choosing precisely those things that are worst for them.
- Albus Dumbledore
Fear of a name increases fear of a thing itself.
- Albus Dumbledore
After all, it does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.
- Albus Dumbledore
I believe your friends Misters Fred and George Weasley were responsible for trying to send you a toilet seat. No doubt they thought it would amuse you.
- Albus Dumbledore
I will only have truly left the school when none here are loyal to me
- Albus Dumbledore
It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.
- Albus Dumbledore
You think the dead we love ever truly leave us? You think that we don't recall them more clearly than ever in times of great trouble?
- Albus Dumbledore
Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?
- Albus Dumbledore
Curiosity is not a sin.... But we should exercise caution with our curiosity... yes, indeed.
- Albus Dumbledore
Numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it.
- Albus Dumbledore
You place too much importance... on the so-called purity of blood! You fail to recognize that it matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be!
- Albus Dumbledore
It is my belief... that the truth is generally preferable to lies.
- Albus Dumbledore
Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open.
- Albus Dumbledore
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.
- Albus Dumbledore
Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young...
- Albus Dumbledore
By all means continue destroying my possessions, I daresay I have too many.
- Albus Dumbledore
He [Voldemort] never paused to understand the incomparable power of a soul that is untarnished and whole.
- Albus Dumbledore
I would assume that you were going to offer me refreshment, but the evidence so far suggests that that would be optimistic to the point of foolishness.
- Albus Dumbledore
Age is foolish and forgetful when it underestimates youth.
- Albus Dumbledore
It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more.
- Albus Dumbledore
No, I was merely reading the Muggle magazines, said Dumbledore. I do love knitting patterns.
- Albus Dumbledore
I am not worried, Harry... I am with you.
- Albus Dumbledore
Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all, those who live without love.
- Albus Dumbledore
