We have no capacity for good without an equal capacity for evil.' - Master Po

"Beware of judgments of others. In this imperfect world in which we live, perfection is an illusion. And so the standards by which we seek to measure it are also, themselves, illusions.

And it is well to remember that the harshest judgments are reserved for ourselves." - Master Kan
