Gintoki Sakata — memorable quote from Gintama

“There’s no such thing as parents who don’t think about their children. But there are few children who understand their parents feelings.”

“If all you do is feed your dog, you'll get your hand bitten eventually. Let him out for a walk every once in a while.”

“(referring to his father) There are three lessons he taught me when I was six. Lesson one: Protect yourself, by yourself. Parents can't protect you forever. Work out or think hard and figure out a way to take care of things by yourself. Don't get close to things you can't take care of. Use your imagination to avoid danger. Lesson two: There's more than one answer. Things can be resolved in many ways. On the contrary, there's no answer in some cases. Don't get hung up with one way. And finally, lesson 3: Don't think your parents are always right.”

“Anyone can cheer for you and your dreams, but only the people closest to you can worry about you.”

“Oh, you're one of those guys... You don't care if somebody beats the crap out of you, but if someone lays a finger on a family member, you completely freak out. What a waste...”
