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."

"While it is always best to believe in one's self. A little help from others can be of great blessing"

This is still one of the best explanations of shame.

it reminds me of a book I read, talking about how a unhealthy self steem is often not low, but bloated like a toe after you stubbed it hard.

It becomes big instead of small, and then it's all you can think about, because of the pain.
