1) Lean into the sharp points and fully experience them. 1
2) Knowing you're licked before starting, then starting anyway...that's the Gryffindor way.
3) Never tell a Gryffindor the sky's the limit. We all know there are footsteps on the moon.
4) A Gryffindor can handle anything if he thinks he can, as long as he keeps his cool and his sense of humor.
5) Throw your heart over the fence and the rest will follow. 2
6) Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right. 3
7) Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved. 4
8) Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear. 5
9) The greater the difficulty, the more the glory in surmounting it. 6
10) Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. 7
11) Everybody else will just have to learn. We can't all be heroes because somebody has to sit on the curb and clap as the Gryffindors go by.
12) It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees! 8
13) A true Gryffindor faces the music, even when he doesn't like the tune.
14) What doesn't kill us is only making us stronger!
15) Remember, it ain't bragging if you can back it up!
16) We are Gryffindor! Hear us ROAR!
17) Gryffindor Rocks!
18) He who laughs last laughs best!
19) If you don't have the last laugh, the battle's not over.
20) If you love something, let it go. If it doesn't come back, why were you wasting your time in the first place?
21) If you're going to make an error, make a doozy. 9
22) Let us be outraged, let us be loud, let us be bold. 10
23) I choose bold. I choose action. I choose what's right for the people. I choose to make a difference. 11
24) A Gryffindor has enough courage to bring a child into a house with white carpet.
25) Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself. 12
26) Bravery is being the only one who knows you're afraid. 13
27) Anything's possible if you've got enough nerve. 14
28) A Lion won't back down until he's beat.
29) When that happens, he's not afraid to admit he was wrong.
30) We know what's coming will come and we'll just have to meet it when it does. 14
31) Gryffindors don't require compensation. That's why it's called altruism.
32) Live as brave men; and if fortune is adverse, front its blows with brave hearts. 15
33) A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a Gryffindor afterward.
34) Patience has its limits. Take it too far, and it's cowardice. 16
35) One man scorned and covered with scars still strove with his last ounce of courage to reach the unreachable stars; and the world was better for this. 17
36) Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow. 18
37) Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one. 19
38) Family isn't about whose blood you have. It's about who you care about. 20
