Two stick to me —
“From the ashes of my failures shall rise the empire of my successes.” -as seen by Jessica Zafra on the back of a jeep
and,
“The world is not perfect, therefore it is.” -Kino no Tabi/Kino’s Journey. This is the fansub translation in the anime. The official English manga translation says it’s “The world is not beautiful, therefore it is”, which could also apply, but I much prefer the insight from the fansub.
