The best Quotes by Qui-Gon Jinn

The ability to speak does not make you intelligent.

Your focus determines your reality.

You've been a good apprentice, Obi-Wan. And you're a much wiser man than I am. I foresee you will become a great Jedi knight.

Obi-Wan is ready. He is headstrong, and he has much to learn of the living Force, but he is capable. There is little more he can learn from me.

I can only protect you, I cannot fight a war for you.

We keep our door open to my old master Dooku. Sometimes paths diverge, and he is walking a different one than the rest of us. But he is still welcome. If we cut off everyone whose choices differ from our own, we would stagnate and cease to learn, cease to grow. We must let people choose their path, and let them go as they see fit, but always leave a door open for them to return. Despite what others may call them, no one is ever truly lost. There is always hope in the Force.

Dooku: "I will not be there to protect you, my old Padawan."
Qui-Gon: "You need not worry, Master. Obi-Wan fills that role now. He acquits himself quite well."

Every Jedi who ever lived lives in you.

I was always here, Obi-Wan. You just were not ready to see.

Dooku: "Your actions saved many lives today."
Qui-Gon: "Just thinking in the moment, Master."
Dooku: "Well, then you're a much wiser man than I, Qui-Gon Jinn."
Qui-Gon: "Thanks to your teachings."

Concentrate on the moment. Feel, don't think. Trust your instincts!

Keep your concentration here and now, where it belongs!

Obi-Wan: "Master Yoda says I should be mindful of the future."
Qui-Gon: "But not at the expense of the moment."

Obi-Wan: "Do not defy the council, Master, not again."
Qui-Gon: "I shall do what I must, Obi-Wan."

Obi-Wan, promise me you will train the boy. He is the Chosen One. He... will bring balance.

He can see things before they happen. That's why he appears to have such quick reflexes. It's a Jedi trait.

Anakin: "You're a Jedi Knight, aren't you?"
Qui-Gon: "What makes you think that?"
Anakin: "I saw your laser sword. Only Jedi carry that kind of weapon."
Qui-Gon: "Perhaps I killed a Jedi and took it from him."
Anakin: "I don't think so. No one can kill a Jedi."
Qui-Gon: "I wish that were so."

Greed can be a very powerful ally.

There's always a bigger fish.

Midi-Chlorians are a microscopic life form that resides within all living cells.

Qui-Gon hasn't given up on the fact that Jedi are supposed to care and love and that that's not a bad thing. The rest of the Jedi are so detached and they've become so political that they've really lost their way and Yoda starts to see that in the second film.

Jocasta Nu: "Qui-Gon Jinn always had such an active imagination. As did you, Dooku."
Count Dooku: "A quality valued less and less in these great halls."

It's a great pity that our paths have never crossed before, Obi-Wan. Qui-Gon always spoke very highly of you. I wish he were still alive. I could use his help right now.

Dooku: "Qui-Gon Jinn has become one with the Force. It is time to let him go."
Yaddle: "And you can do this?"
Dooku: "What choice have I?"

Obi-Wan: "Master Yoda, I gave Qui-Gon my word. I will train Anakin. Without the approval of the council, if I must."
Yoda: "Qui-Gon's defiance I sense in you. Need that you do not. Agree with you the council does. Your apprentice Skywalker will be."

Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate; hate leads to suffering.

Always two there are, no more, no less. A master and an apprentice.

I will not condone a course of action that will lead us to war.

You can't stop change any more than you can stop the suns from setting.

We are indebted to you for your bravery, Obi-Wan Kenobi. And you, young Skywalker, we will watch your career with great interest.

My fate will be no different that that of our people.

My no know. Mesa day starten pitty okeyday witda brisky morning munchen. Den boom! Getten berry Scared... and grabben data Jedi, and pow - mesa here.

You refer to the prophecy of The One who will bring balance to the Force. You believe it's this boy?

You will find that many of the truths we cling to, depend greatly on our own point of view.

Who's the more foolish? The fool or the fool who follows him?

The Force will be with you. Always.

I always wanted to be a cowboy, and Jedi Knights are basically cowboys in space, right?

I don't do my own stunts, but I do my own fighting. I don't consider fighting to be a stunt.

Dagonet: "You serve the Senate."
Dooku: "No. We serve the people of this Republic."

For a Jedi to succumb to a surprise attack is rare. Unless that attack is from someone one would trust.

Good. Twice the pride - double the fall.

Dooku chose his next words carefully. "Qui-Gon returned from Tatooine with a former slave boy. According to the boy's mother, the boy had no father."

Oh, great warrior? Wars not make one great.

Do or do not. There is no try.

If you're not with me, then you're my enemy.

There aren't enough Jedi to protect the Republic. We're keepers of the peace, not soldiers.

Good is a point of view, Anakin. The Sith and the Jedi are similar in almost every way.

Confronting fear is the destiny of a Jedi. Your destiny.
