"Helping other people is the best way to …" — Kenshin Himura Quote

"The moment you find the courage to give up your life for someone... Would be the moment you understand love."

— Kenshin Himura · 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

"You can use whatever technique you like, but now that I said I will kill you... your death tonight has been assured."

— Kenshin Himura · Rurouni Kenshin

"When I was at the brink of life and death, I used all of my will to survive. I drew upon a different power than that of self-sacrifice and mastered an ultimate technique. The will to live is stronger than anything else. That was the ray of light that my master risked his life to show me. As Hitokiri Battousai, I have committed so many crimes that I cannot possibly repent for them. That is why I had secretly believed that it didn't matter when I died or was killed. However, now... even if I am formally punished or restrained. I will never lose the will to live."

— Kenshin Himura · Rurouni Kenshin

"Accepting one's own strength, and the strength of others, is an important quality of a swordsman."

"The scar of my past will determine my future!"
