1. "Whether you come back by page or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home."

No matter how many twists and turns gird your path, or turns that lead you to more twisted places, darker places, there will always be something within you the darkness cannot touch. Something full of magic. A magic that paves a path towards home.

2. "It is our choices... that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities."

It is not absolute power that determines the sum of who we are, but rather, how and for what we use it that may yield a powerful sum.

3. "We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all of the power we need in ourselves already."

We don't have to conjure a patronus from the tip of a wound to prove we are magical, we are the magic - the hope, the perseverance, and the courage - which drives the dementors away.

4. "It takes a great deal of courage to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends."

Its always easy to see and acknowledge the flaws of our adversaries. However, the fear of creating one more often hinders our ability to admit the shortcomings that reside in those more likely to stand beside us.

5. "Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remember to turn on the light."

As long, and as wide as the shadow may stretch, somewhere within the darkness it casts - no matter how dark - lies the switch. So turn it on. It may still linger along the walls and behind the closet, but you'll find its as scared as you are.
