There’s no short-cut to becoming strong. Even if you try to look strong on the outside, that thin layer will soon fall off.

If you’ve got time to fantasize about a beautiful ending, why not live beautifully until the end? – Sakata Gintoki.

Tears are handy for washing away troubling and sad feelings. But when you grow up, you’ll learn that there are things so sad, they can never be washed away by tears. That there are painful memories that should never be washed away. So people who are truly strong laugh when they want to cry. They endure all of the pain and sorrow while laughing with everybody else.

Kagura: It’s the same as always. He doesn’t pursue those who leave, and ignores those who come.

Gintoki: Listen, I don’t care what you guys do around the universe. This is my sword, and anywhere it can reach is my country! Bastards who come in and try to mess with my things…whether it be a general, whether it be space pirates, whether it be a meteorite…I’ll destroy them!

The night is darkest just before dawn. But keep your eyes open; if you avert your eyes from the dark, you'll be blind to the rays of a new day...So keep your eyes open, no matter how dark the night ahead may be.
