      I love the Oogway ones from the first Kunfu Panda movie..

      One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it.

      [Repeated lines] There are no accidents.

      Your mind is like this water my friend, when it is agitated it becomes difficult to see. But if you allow it to settle, the answer becomes clear.

      Quit. Don't quit. Noodles. Don't noodles. You are too concerned with what was and what will be. There's a saying: "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called a "present".

      [Last words] You must... believe.
      [Shifu ask for help] No, you just need to believe.

      --------------------

      Oogway: My friend, the panda will never fulfill his destiny, nor you yours until you let go of the illusion of control.
      Shifu: Illusion?
      Oogway: Yes.
      [points at peach tree]
      Oogway: Look at this tree, Shifu: I cannot make it blossom when it suits me nor make it bear fruit before its time.
      Shifu: But there are things we *can* control: I can control when the fruit will fall, I can control where to plant the seed: that is no illusion, Master!
      Oogway: Ah, yes. But no matter what you do, that seed will grow to be a peach tree. You may wish for an apple or an orange, but you will get a peach.
      Shifu: But a peach cannot defeat Tai Lung!
      Oogway: Maybe it can, if you are willing to guide, to nurture it, to believe in it.
      Shifu: But how? How? I need your help, master.
      Oogway: No, you just need to believe. Promise me, Shifu, promise me you will believe.

      --------------------

      Mr. Ping: The secret ingredient is... nothing!
      Po: Huh?
      Mr. Ping: You heard me. Nothing! There is no secret ingredient.
      Po: Wait, wait... it's just plain old noodle soup? You don't add some kind of special sauce or something?
      Mr. Ping: Don't have to. To make something special you just have to believe it's special.
      [Po looks at the scroll again, and sees his reflection in it]
      Po: There is no secret ingredient...

      -----------------

      Oogway: There are no accidents.
      Shifu: [sighs] Yes, I know. You've already said that twice.
      Oogway: That was no accident either.
      Shifu: Thrice.
