"A man that can't hold on to his beliefs …" — Hajime Saitou Quote

"When you are trying to rebuild a build that was made incorrectly, you first have to destroy it. I thought this was the true."

— Seta Soujirou · Rurouni Kenshin

"You can train a dog with food. You can buy a person with money. But there isn't a man alive able to influence the wolves of Mibu! Some things will never change. A wolf will always be a wolf."

— Hajime Saitou · Rurouni Kenshin

"This era is not so simple that you can put everything on your shoulders and be the only sacrifice. And, at the same time, one person's happiness isn't that simple, either. If you should fall as a sacrifice, one girl who came to Kyoto with the one wish to see you will definitely face misfortune. Remember that. No matter how strong you get, you are just a human being. There is no need for you to either become Buddha, or a murderer."

— Seijuro Hiko · Rurouni Kenshin

"Murder is the only art a swordsman may practice. No ornamental words can change that. You want to protect people with murder? You'll slaughter legions so that a few may live. Many years, long before you were born, my sword was tearing asunder the lives of men. Yes, all of those men were evil, but they were human beings first and foremost, Kenshin. The world you ardently desire to enter will not know what to do with you. It will deceive you into believing that you are saving lives even as you destroy them. You will accept these lies all the while, your hands will be stained with the worst of offenses."

— Seijuro Hiko · Rurouni Kenshin

"What is truly good about a person can't be expressed in words, that it can not. What matters is the feeling of trust one gets after spending time with him."

— Kenshin Himura · Rurouni Kenshin

"Helping other people is the best way to make up for your mistakes."

— Kenshin Himura · Rurouni Kenshin
