“You should enjoy the little detours to the fullest. Because that's where you'll find the things more important than what you want.” - Ging Freecss.
But there are so many other quotes on the same level that I can't decide between:
“The only thing humans are equal in is death.” - Johan Liebert.
"If you have time to think of a beautiful end, then live beautifully until the end." - Sakata Gintoki.
"Whether you're victorious or you're defeated, no matter what you protect or what you lose, there's no meaning in war. No matter how you tidy it up, it's a pointless act that ends you up with nothing but corpses and sins. There's really... nothing worth going that far to protect. If there were something like that, it would be the souls of those that are trying to build an era without such needless war, or of those that fight against themselves, rather than an enemy. And those souls still aren't dead. Not as long as there are those that carrying on those feelings." - Sakata Gintoki.
"The night is in its darkest just before dawn. But keep your eyes open. If you avert your eyes from the dark, you'll be blinded by the rays of a new day. So keep your eyes open, no matter how dark the night ahead may be." - Sakata Gintoki.
"People are born weak. Everyone struggles through life, burdened with an identity they cannot accept. Unfortunate as it may be, there is no escaping that struggle. However, that doesn't mean we can only suffer as our weakness controls us. We can also struggle to face our weaknesses, defy them, and change ourselves........ People have more freedom than they think." - Yoshida Shouyou.
“Just like you, I used to be empty. Once I lost everything and learned how terrifying that could be, I kept living an empty life, with no meaning or name of any kind. But the ones who gave meaning to the empty me once more, were the people who’d become a part of me at some point, your sister and everyone else. Those audacious pests just barged into my life, and gave me a new name. That's when I realized that I hadn't actually lost anything. That I was just cowering and running away from it all. I'll never run away again... Not from protecting something or losing it. I don't need a title as fancy as "strongest" or one as sorry as "stupid brother from Earth". I'm Odd Jobs Gin-Chan. I swear on the name they gave me that I won't lose.... Not to you or myself. So, Kamui, you shouldn't lose, either." - Sakata Gintoki.
"Tears are handy for washing away troubling and sad feelings. But when you grow up, you’ll learn that there are things so sad, they can never be washed away by tears. That there are painful memories that should never be washed away. So people who are truly strong laugh when they want to cry. They endure all of the pain and sorrow while laughing with everybody else." - Obi Hajime.
"Perhaps I didn't explain myself very well... I'm not fighting just because of my feelings of debt or obligation to others. I fight, 'cause in the end, I love boxing. It's certainly quite a a world apart from the bright youth you talk about, but that burning sense of worth and completeness... is something I've only tasted on a bloodied ring. And this burning sensation isn't a momentary sputter that others my age go through. It's so intense that it burns your entire body in an instant. And when it's over, only white ashes remain... not even any tiny cinders.... only white ashes" - Yabuki Joe.
"DO NOT PRAY! If you pray, your hands will close together. You will not be able to fight!" - Guts
"People bring the small flames of their wishes together... since they don't want to extinguish the small flame... they'll bring that small flame to a bigger fire. A big flame named Griffith. But you know... I didn't bring a flame with me. I think I just stopped by to warm myself by the bonfire." - Guts.
"While many can pursue their dreams in solitude, other dreams are like great storms blowing hundreds, even thousands of dreams apart in their wake. Dreams breathe life into men and can cage them in suffering. Men live and die by their dreams. But long after they have been abandoned they still smolder deep in men's hearts. Some see nothing more than life and death. They are dead, for they have no dreams." - Griffith
"It is my perception, that a true friend never relies on another's dream. A person with the potential to be my true friend, must be able to find his reason for life without my help. And, he would have to put his heart and soul into protecting his dream. He would never hesitate to fight for his dream, even against me. For me, a true friend is one who stands equal on those terms." - Griffith
"In this world, some people born are like keys that move the world and exist having no connection to the social hierarchy established by man." - Griffith
"There's no such thing as a painless lesson, they just don't exist. Sacrifices are necessary. You can't gain anything 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 heart made fullmetal." - Edward Elric.
all of these are pretty good and interesting
