“Pride is not the opposite of shame, but its source. True humility is the only antidote to shame.” Iroh

[sivarajamani]

She's my sister and I should try to get along with her.”
“No. She's crazy and she needs to go down.”

[experiencedwitness]

When Zuko enters Iroh's tent in book 3 asking for forgiveness only to be embraced and forgiven, he's the brave soldier boy marching home.

[Nino-xers]

“Pride is not what makes ourselves proud but what prevents us from being proud of others”

[lemontheneet]

pride is concerned with who is right, humility is concerned with what is right

[goofygoober_]

It is usually best to admit mistakes when they occur, and seek to restore honor. -iroh

“I know you shouldn’t cry over spilled tea but... it’s just so sad!”

[falcothegreat]

“And this is what a 10 year old children’s cartoon taught me”

Me: “You’re goddamn right”

[davidjs_]

This is one of my favorite and most impactful quotes by Iroh:

*_"You must never give in to despair._*
*_Allow yourself to slip down that road and you surrender to your lowest instincts._*
*_In the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself._*
*_That is the meaning of inner strength."_*

[JocelynRey]

“humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself, less.” -rick warren

[blze]

Everybody gangsta until Iroh starts to sing "leaves from the vines"

You know this show is amazing when there's a deeper philosophy to be found. The fact that this was introduced to us as children and now that we're older we can look back on it like this is awesome.

[joobletmaster]

Autotuned Iroh was not something I wanted this morning lol

[austinorlando]

I remember someone once saying that "The quietest acts of humility are greater than the most boisterous acts of pride, " and also "Humility is not the act of thinking less of oneself but of thinking of oneself less."

[lionelt.]

The fact that that voice actor of Iroh was dying due to cancer as he was making The Last Airbender is heart wrenching. He was something of a healthy father figure to millions as he suffered from his own failing health. RIP Makoto Iwamatsu. 🙏

What's amazing about Iroh's character is that he started out completely differently to how we see him in the show. He was all about pride, a warmongering general, believing the lies he was told...after his son's death, his world collapsed, and everything he knew was a lie.

He then remade himself over time into one of the wisest and strongest people in the world, and certainly one of the most enlightened characters ever in a TV show. True power, as it turns out, comes from knowledge and compassion.

[malahamavet]

"The avatar state is a last resort not some cheat code" you read my mind 😂

[PotatoNuggetBoi]

Iroh literally makes me cry to this very day almost a decade after I first watched it. He reminds me of my uncle who i really really miss

[thisismyelement]

5:01 Iroh can draw a perfect circle. With a stick.

[passerbyhuman]

Ever notice how Iroh's fighting style consists of all the different styles?
