Wit and Wisdom of Albus Dumbledore

Inspired by Rita Skeeter's "Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore". Actually Dumbledore is not my favorite character. But those chapters which feature his long conversation with Harry (usually the last ones of each book) is full of notable words of advice and truth. Seems like Rowling relied on Dumbledore to explain most of the story plot to readers. Well not another word, here's some of Dumbledore's Wit and Wisdom:

"For in dreams we enter a world that is entirely our own"

"Call him Voldemort, Harry. Fear of a name increases the fear of the thing itself"

"Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?"

"Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also"

"Sometimes we must choose between what is right and what is easy"

"Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and above all, those who live without love"

"Death is but the next great adventure"

"It is a curious thing, Harry, but perhaps who are best suited for power are those who have never sought it"

"Indifference and neglect often do much more damage than outright dislike"

"People find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than being right"

"Understanding is the first step to acceptance, and only with acceptance can there be recovery"

"You are the true master of death, because the true master does not seek to run away from death"

"It is important to fight, and fight again, and keep fighting, for only then evil could be kept at bay, though never quite eradicated"
