"Winning?! Is that what you think it's about? I'm not trying to win! I'm not doing this because I want to beat someone, or because I hate someone, or because, because I want to blame someone. It's not because it's fun and God knows it's not because it's easy. It's not even because it works, because it hardly ever does. I do what I do because it's right! Because it's decent! And above all, it's kind. It's just that. Just kind."

Words to live by.

"The very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common.
They don't alter their views to fit the facts. They alter the facts to fit their views."
-Tom Baker, The Face of Evil, Season 14, Episode 16.

"You know, you're a classic example of the inverse ratio between the size of the mouth and the size of the brain."
-Tom Baker, The Face of Evil, Season 14

"I'm looking for a blonde in a Union Jack - a specific one, mind you, I didn't just wake up this morning with a craving."

I don't want to go.

That scene was brutal. I cried like a baby. And it so encapsulated Tennant's doctor, his sheer joy in life that kept him going no matter how bad things got. It also drove home the weight of a doctor that loved a human, and became friends with one in a way he never had before.

To me, there's no bad doctors at all, only varying degrees of greatness. But Tennant is the only one that can match "my" doctor, Tom Baker. Everything about his run just worked for me. So, that scene? Perfect, andb the quote itself is the distillation of that .

Rose… before I go, I just wanna tell you, you were fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. And you know what? So was I!

"Nobody important! Now that's new! I've been all across time and space, and that's one thing o haven't met, yet - someone unimportant!"

Try to be nice; always be kind.

We're all just stories in the end. Try to make it a good one, eh?

Do what I do: hold tight and pretend it's a plan.

You have a horror movie called Alien?? That's really offensive no wonder everyone keeps invading you.

Madge: Lily and Cyril’s father—my husband—is dead and they don’t know yet because if I tell them now then Christmas will always be what took their father away from them, and no one should have to live like that. Of course when the Christmas period is over I shall… I don’t know why I keep shouting at them.

The Doctor: Because every time you see them happy you remember how sad they’re going to be. And it breaks your heart. Because what’s the point in them being happy now if they’re going to be sad later. The answer is, of course, because they a re going to be sad later.

I can't pick just one! The first one is probably my favorite if I must choose though.

The way I see it every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice-versa, the bad things don’t necessarily spoil the good things or make them unimportant.

There’s no point in being grown up if you can’t be childish sometimes.

You know, the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common: they don’t alter their views to fit the facts; they alter the facts to fit their views.

Courage isn't just a matter of not being frightened, you know. It's being afraid and doing what you have to do anyway.

"Never be cruel, never be cowardly. And never ever eat pears! Remember: Hate is always foolish… and love is always wise."

It’s like when you’re a kid. The first time they tell you that the world’s turning and you just can’t quite believe it because everything looks like it’s standing still. I can feel it. That’s who I am.

—The Doctor, “Rose”, Doctor Who (S01E01) (2005-03-26)

Anyone remember "Spoilers"?

River Song - "Silence in the Library" and pretty much any episode she was in.

Amy, you need to start trusting me. Its never been more important.

But you don't always tell me the truth.

If I always told you the truth, I wouldn't need you to trust me.

What are you doctor, coward or killer?

Coward, any day.

"Every great decision creates ripples, like a huge boulder dropped in a lake. The ripples merge and rebound off the banks in unforeseeable ways. The heavier the decision, the larger the waves, the more uncertain the consequence."

Or basically anything 7th said

Edit; I'm gonna leave this here as a showcase for The McCoy Years.

One of my favorites:

"I Hate Being Wrong In Public. Everyone Forget That Happened."

Twelfth Doctor - "Deep Breath," Season 8 episode 1

"Life is a weird way that nature has found to keep meat fresh" I don't remember the exact phrasing, but it's close.

"You said memories become stories when we forget them. Maybe some of them become songs."

Clara from S09E12 "Hell Bent"

Jelly baby?

"Doctor, who?" "Yes" "???"

Would you like a Jellybaby?

One day I won't hate this man by default... I'm trying.

Maybe not favourite but one of them anyways,

Tom Baker S17E14 Nightmare of Eden, part 2 according to IMDb.

Guard: ...who do you work for?

Doctor: Work for? I don't work for anybody.I'm just having fun.

I never hear this one mentioned but I think it sums up the Doctor perfectly.

"I never would."

i invented the quadricycle!
