"*To Shinpachi* When your friend is crying, cry with him. When your friend is worried, you should worry with him. And when your friend has an awkward bowel movement, then you must have an awkward bowel movement too, Shin-chan. If you are a friend, you should be able to share the other's pain, no matter what. And Shin-chan, if your friend goes down the wrong path... Then, you must stop your friend, even if it ruins your friendship. That is true samurai friendship."

"What is right? What is wrong? In this mixed up world, deciding what is right and wrong is not easy. You can't just go by somebody else's rules. If you let yourself be controlled like that, you'll just become a puppet that can't make decisions on it's own. You have to live by your rules."

— Gintoki Sakata · Gintama

"Do you really intend to lose even more of your friends for something like that? I'll pass on that. As long as I'm alive, I'll live by my own rules. I'll live as I see fit and protect that which I hold dear."

— Gintoki Sakata · Gintama

"Tears are handy for washing away troubling and sad feelings. But when you grow up, you'll learn that there are things so sad, they can never be washed away by tears. That there are painful memories that should never be washed away. So people who are truly strong laugh when they want to cry. They endure all of the pain and sorrow while laughing with everybody else."

"*while eating Super Spicy Senbei* It's spicy... It's spicy. Damn it, why am I... It's so spicy I have tears in my eyes."

"*after Shinpachi caught up to him, while running from the police* What a nice boy you are. Have you come to return my wooden sword? That's all right. It was just a souvenir I bought on a school trip."
