Benefits of a Classical education.
Culture is no compensation for lack of hard knowledge.
Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.
Becoming a top fighter takes time, unless you’re a natural-born kung-fu genius, and they’re one in a million.
Just remember what ol’ Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol’ storm right square in the eye and he says, “Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it.”
Is that your answer, old man? Well, I guess you’re a hard case too.
Pacha: Uh-oh.
Kuzco: Don’t tell me. We’re about to go over a huge waterfall.
Pacha: Yep.

Lupe’s escape!
Colonel Von Luger, it is the sworn duty of all officers to try to escape. If they cannot escape, then it is their sworn duty to cause the enemy to use an inordinate number of troops to guard them, and their sworn duty to harass the enemy to the best of their ability.

I am waiting for you, Vizzini! You told me to go back to the beginning… so I have. This is where I am, this is where I’ll stay. I will not be moved!
Compromise where you can. Where you can’t, don’t. Even if everyone is telling you that something wrong is something right. Even if the whole world is telling you to move, it is your duty to plant yourself like a tree, look them in the eye, and say, ‘No, you move.’
What are you doing? These are mine. These are my workers. They should be on my train. They’re skilled munitions workers. They’re essential. Essential girls!
I don’t advise a haircut, man. All hairdressers are in the employment of the government. Hair are your aerials. They pick up signals from the cosmos and transmit them directly into the brain. This is the reason bald-headed men are uptight.
Oh say, can you see my eyes? If you can, then my hair’s too short.
No! You were wrong about the world. And you were wrong about me. And I will never let you use my hair, again!
Just a little tip for the future, I am always right. Even when I’m wrong, I’m right.
Oh yes, I am reticent.
