Some of you may think that the Fire Nation has made you powerless. Yes, they have taken away your ability to bend, but they can't take away your courage. And it is your courage they should truly fear, because it runs deeper than any mine you've been forced to dig, any ocean that keeps you far from home. It is the strength of your hearts that make you who you are. Hearts that will remain unbroken when all rock and stone has eroded away.

It’s not about strength. Our technique is about using your opponent's force against them. Loosen up. Think of the fan as an extension of your arm.

I know how hard it is to lose the people you love. I went through the same thing when I lost my mom. Monk Gyatso and the other airbenders may be gone, but you still have a family. Sokka and I, we’re your family now.

Aang is the Avatar. He is the world’s only chance. You both found him for a reason. Now your destinies are intertwined with his.

Aang, you have a difficult task ahead. The world has changed in the hundred years you’ve been gone. It’s the duty of the Avatar to restore balance to the world by defeating Fire Lord Ozai. You have much to learn. You must master the four elements and confront the Fire Lord, and when you do, I hope you will think like a mad genius...
