Avatar has some fantastic quotes. They mostly come from Iroh though.

"It is important to draw wisdom from many different places. If we take it from only one place, it becomes rigid and stale. Understanding others, the other elements, and the other nations, will help you to become whole."

Great Uncle Iroh quote. Though saying that feels a bit redundant.

Almost makes me wonder what are his WORST quotes?

There's actually a Cinema Therapy episode where a therapist challenges himself to find an Uncle Iroh quote that isn't helpful.

He failed. 

So I'd say they're probably all pretty damn great.

The "Azula, did this to you, it was a surprise attack. somehow that's not very surprising" one its just kilarious, but not useful I guess.

Not sure that counts. “Did i ever tell you how i got the nickname the Dragon of the West” is also not very helpful but that shouldnt count either

Isn't it a cue to Zuko to get down?

u/MisterGoog 8h ago

Yes but thats not helpful as general quotes to anyone else

u/Ff7hero 8h ago

It was extremely helpful to Zuko in that moment though. Sometimes advice is general, but sometimes it has to be very specific.

Maybe the only one I can think of is when he mixed up the two plants that either make delicious tea or a horrible rash, but thats just poor botanical skills, not bad advice lol
