Quote by J. K. Rowling (b. 1965)

• It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.

• It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

• If you want to see the true measure of a man, watch how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.

• If you're holding out for universal popularity, I'm afraid you will be in this cabin for a very long time.

• Never be ashamed! There's some who'll hold it against you, but they're not worth bothering with.

• His priority did not seem to be to teach them what he knew, but rather to impress upon them that nothing, not even... knowledge, was foolproof.
