Here are the best phrases from Kung Fu Panda, a Dreamswork film, released in 2008 and directed by Mark Osborne and John Wayne Stevenson. Its protagonists are Po, Master Shifu, Tigress, Lord Ping, Master Mantis and others.
The wisdom of Kung Fu is an ancient legacy. Great masters developed this art of combat through the combination of physical training and meditation. His teachings invite us to reflect and think about our lives.
We cannot deny that daily walking and the accelerated inertia of modern life have deprived us of those moments that we should save to be at peace with ourselves.
Fortunately, the characters in Kung Fu Panda are here to invite us to ponder the most complex questions of the human condition, not without a good dose of humor.

- There are no coincidences in this world. -Master Oogway
- There is no secret ingredient. -Mr. Ping
- Often one meets his destiny on the path he has taken to avoid it. -Master Oogway
- You must believe. -Master Oogway
- It is said that the Dragon Warrior can survive for months with nothing more than the dew of a single ginkgo leaf and the energy of the universe. -Tigress
- Anything is possible when you have inner peace. -Master Shifu
- If you only do what you can do, then you will be more than you are now. -Master Shifu
- Your mind is like water, my friend. When it shakes, it's hard to see. But if you allow it to settle, the answer becomes clear. -Master Oogway
- Are you bothering my friends? Get ready to feel "the thunder". -Po
- I'm not a big fat panda. I am the big fat panda. -Po
- There is no secret ingredient. It's only you. -Po
- Friend, I am the Dragon Warrior. –Po
- Wow, the Furious Five! They are much larger than your action figures. Except you, Mantis. You are the same size. -Po
- I talk so much that I have to invent new words. -Po
- I just ate, so I'm still digesting. My Kung Fu may not be as good as… it will be later. -Po
- I'm going to get to you with crazy feet. What are you going to do with crazy feet? –Po
- You have never seen the bear style, you have only seen the praying mantis or the monkey style. But you have never seen the bear. - Po
- Obeying your teacher is not a weakness. -Master Shifu
- That limp panda can't be the answer to our problem. You were about to point at Tigress and that thing fell in front of her. It was just an accident. -Master Shifu
- It was my pride that blinded me. I loved you too much to realize what you became. What I made you. -Master Shifu
- You have done very well, students… if you were trying to disappoint me. -Master Shifu

- Master taught you well, but he did not teach you everything. -Tai Lung
- Who filled my head with dreams? Who conducted my training until my bones thundered? Who denied me my destiny? -Tai Lung

- To do something special, you must believe that it is special. -Mr. Ping.

- Give up. Not to give up. Noodles. No noodles. You are very concerned about what was and what will be. -Master Oogway
- There is only the news. There are neither good nor bad. -Master Oogway
- My friend, the panda will never fulfill his destiny, nor will you fulfill yours, until you let go of the illusion of control. -Master Oogway
- Look at this tree, Master. I cannot make it bloom when I want it, nor make it bear fruit before its time. -Master Oogway
- No matter what you do, this seed will grow to become a peach tree. You might wish it would yield apples or oranges, but it will only yield peaches. -Master Oogway
- I have had a long and quite disappointing day. So yes. I should probably go to sleep now. -Master Crane
- Do you think this is funny? Tai Lung has escaped from jail and you are acting like children. –Master Shifu
- I stayed because every time he threw a brick at my head or told me it stunk, it hurt. However, nothing can hurt as much as the day to day of my life being me. -Po

- Remember, Po, each generation teaches the next. Thus, the art of Kung Fu lives in you, and, now, in them.

- Teaching Kung Fu is an art that takes years to master. Don't be discouraged if you fail. -Master Shifu
- What about those lonely people who have nowhere else to go? We give them a place. -Mr. Ping
- What happens in your head, the truth is that I don't always understand it. But what goes on in your heart has never let us down. -Master Shifu
- The only thing that matters is what you decide to become. –Po
