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."

There's always a bigger fish.

Greed can be a very powerful ally.

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