A few weeks ago, many of us related our favorite humorous scenes from the books. After re-reading GoF, I read so many great "pearls of wisdom" that I thought it would be interesting to hear what everyone else thinks. So, what is your favorite wise saying from the books? Here's mine:
pg 454 GoF
"Really, Hagrid, if you are holding out for universal popularity, I'm afraid you will be in this cabin for a very long time," said Dumbledore, now peering sternly over his half-moon spectacles. "Not a week has passed since I became headmaster of this school when I haven't had at least one owl complaining about the way I run it. But what should I do? Barricade myself in my study and refuse to talk to anybody?"
In essence: You can't make everyone happy, so don't sit and sulk about it!
I know there are many other great quotes from the book that we can apply to our lives. I'm anxious to hear yours!
