Quotes you'll want to say out loud! A collection of cool lines from anime and words that strike the heart

Good job, human.Crocodine

[Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai] Being Human Is Great [Infinity Strash Release Commemoration]

A famous quote from Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai.

Since it’s the world of Dragon Quest, Crocodine is a monster.

From a monster’s perspective, humans seemed frail and weak, but he comes to understand that they are incredibly strong beings who feel joy and sorrow.

This is the line he says when, having acted like a human, Crocodine is defeated.

A person’s worth isn’t determined solely by test scores.Shizuka-chan

These words were spoken by Shizuka-chan to Nobita-kun.

Speaking of Nobita-kun, the strong impression is that he often scores zero on tests and gets scolded by his mother.

But in fact, he has gotten a perfect score before! However, no one believed him no matter who he told.

Shizuka-chan is one of those people, but she encourages Nobita-kun by saying that a person’s worth isn’t determined by test scores.

Even if he’s not good at studying, Nobita-kun is honest and kind.

Shizuka-chan truly understands those good qualities.

It’s okay to be late—just keep trying until the end.Doraemon

People tend to compare themselves with others.

And when they realize they’re not as good as someone else, they get discouraged or lose motivation.

In times like that, remember this famous line from Doraemon: even if you’re slower than others at whatever you do, what matters is persevering to the end.

Not doing something, or giving up halfway, becomes a negative experience—but the experience of seeing it through and the sense of accomplishment will surely become your strength.

Don’t compare yourself to those around you; just give your all with the abilities you have now.

Anyone would be happy to be praised, and when someone badmouths you, it makes you mad.Doraemon

Those are the words Doraemon used to admonish Nobita, who isn’t good with words.

Nobita has a straightforward personality, for better or worse, and he often says exactly what he feels and ends up angering others.

Even if someone tells you to “say what you think,” if you voice an opinion that can be taken as an insult, it’s only natural the other person will feel offended.

This quote teaches the importance of choosing your words from the other person’s standpoint and that there are such things as kind lies in this world—it’s a life lesson, you could say.

After all, words can bring trouble.

It’s your fault because you keep repeating the same thing no matter how many times you’re scolded.Doraemon

If you don’t want to be scolded, you need to understand why you were scolded.

If you just think it’s annoying or unpleasant, you’ll likely repeat the same thing.

After all, if you don’t understand what was wrong, you can’t reflect on it.

People can grow, but to do so, it’s crucial not to repeat the same mistakes.

Don’t let the words of someone important to you—or words meant for your own good—go in one ear and out the other; listen carefully and take them to heart.

If you don’t, you’ll eventually be written off.

Give it your all without overthinking it! Sometimes an unexpected path will open up.Doraemon

This line conveys the idea that action comes before overthinking, and that the path forward opens up once you move.

It expresses that when you get caught up in unnecessary thoughts, you can’t give your all; if you first act with full effort without overthinking, the chances of a good path opening up increase.

It also suggests that by taking action—giving it your all—you may find a path you never would have thought of while you were stuck worrying.

It’s a phrase that radiates drive, saying that needless thoughts only get in the way of doing your best.

An overly grand resolution will surely fizzle out in three days.Doraemon

It’s a starkly realistic message that suggests if your resolve is too grand, you’re more likely to give up quickly.

It also conveys the idea that it’s better to start with small goals and build on them; that approach is more likely to work.

Even when setting big goals, it makes you realize how important it is to set smaller milestones along the way and achieve them little by little.

Within words that seem to cut to the bone, there’s a proposal for improving how we think—a gentleness that offers guidance.

If the whole of Japan sank to your level, it would be the end of the world.Doraemon

These are Doraemon’s scathing words to Nobita, who tried to use a gadget to bring the intelligence of all Japanese people down to his own level.

The phrasing conveys how low Nobita’s level is, and the way Doraemon says it—directly, though troubled—adds a comedic touch.

It not only rejects the idea of lowering abilities to the least capable, but also conveys the message that it’s precisely because everyone’s abilities differ that mutual support sustains the world as it is.

It teaches us not to judge things solely by differences in ability, but to recognize those differences as important.

Money is something you earn by working for it yourself.Dorami-chan

With only a single 100-yen coin of pocket money left, Nobita asks Dorami if she has any tools for a treasure hunt.

Dorami refuses and tells him this: Even if you use an all-purpose gadget to find treasure and increase your money, you won’t understand the true weight of money.

You only grasp that by working hard and earning it.

Her words may have sounded harsh to Nobita, who is always being helped by Doraemon.

But if you misuse money, it can ruin you, so it’s important to teach that value clearly from childhood.

The worst thing you can do is convince yourself that you’re no good.Nobi Nobita

In the stories, Nobita is always relying on Doraemon and rarely gets to show his good side.

Still, some people might find themselves struck by these words that burst out of him.

When things don’t go well, we tend to put ourselves down, thinking it’s because we’re no good or because we’re wrong.

But if we keep hurting ourselves by insisting we’re worthless, we can end up heading further in the wrong direction.

What’s important, before declaring that we’re no good, is to look ahead and think about what we can do—maybe that’s what Nobita is trying to tell us.
