“This era is not so simple that you can put everything on your shoulders and be the only sacrifice. And, at the same time, one person's happiness isn't that simple, either. If you should fall as a sacrifice, one girl who came to Kyoto with the one wish to see you will definitely face misfortune. Remember that. No matter how strong you get, you are just a human being. There is no need for you to either become Buddha, or a murderer.”

“Once you have a power, sometimes you are put into a situation which make you carry extra burdens, and live all your life with pain.”
“There's no such thing as a painless lesson, they just don't exist. Sacrifices are necessary, you can't gain something without losing something first... Although if you can endure that pain and walk away from it, you'll find that you now have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle... Yeah... A Fullmetal Heart.”
“Do you know why you are making the mistake of sacrificing yourself? It’s because you’re weak. It’s because you can’t face reality.”
“Only those who have suffered long, can see the light within the shadows”
“When you go to save someone you have to consider yourself, as well. If you can’t all say “Thank Goodness” together, then those who are saved aren’t saved.”
