Live Poll: Mentor's Quotes

Really hard to decide. Mr.Miyagi, John Keating,Tyler Durden and Vito Corleone seem the most wise for different reasons but the rest are very wise as well.

Paok, don't forget to put the suggestion designation before your titles - you have a bunch where you didn't put it.

I recommend bolding the middle quote on each option so the three stand out separately from each other better.

I assume Obi-Wan Kenobi would definitely qualify to be on this list.

FYC:
Trent from Swingers
#1 - Everybody steals from everybody, that's Hollywood.
#2 - You take yourself out of the game, you start talking about puppy dogs and ice cream and of course it's going to end up on the friendship tip.

Bohdi from Point Break (1991)

Alternate - What's the matter with you guys? This was never about the money, this was about us against the system. That system that kills the human spirit. We stand for something. We are here to show those guys that are inching their way on the freeways in their metal coffins that the human spirit is still alive. Don't worry about this guy, okay? I know exactly what to do with him.

Mufasa from The Lion King
#1 - Everything you see exists together in a delicate balance. As king, you need to understand that balance and respect all the creatures, from the crawling ant to the leaping antelope.

#2 - Remember who you are. You are my son and the one true king. Remember who you are.

Alternate - There's more to being a king than getting your way all the time.
Alternate - Being brave doesn't mean you go looking for trouble.

Sister Mary Benedict from The Bells of St. Mary's
#1 - If we don't fail sometimes, our successes won't mean anything. You must have courage. Don't give up.
#2 - You don't become a nun to run away from life, Patsy. It's not because you've lost something. It's because you've found something.
#3 - It isn’t what we acquire in life, is it?  It’s what we give.

Pai Mei from Kill Bill: Vol. 2
#1 - It's the wood that should fear your hand, not the other way around. No wonder you can't do it, you acquiesce to defeat before you even begin.
#2 - Your Mandarin is lousy. It causes my ears great discomfort. You bray like an ass! You are not to speak unless spoken to!
#3 - If you want to eat like a dog, you can live and sleep outside like a dog. If you want to live and sleep like a human, pick up those sticks!

#1 - There are no two words in the English language more harmful than "good job".
#2 - If you want the fucking part, earn it!
#3 - Listen, the key is to just relax. Don't worry about the numbers. Don't worry about what the other guys are thinking. You're here for a reason. You believe that, right?

Cher from Clueless
#1 - Sometimes you have to show a little skin. This reminds boys of being naked, and then they think of sex.
#2 - Until mankind is peaceful enough not to have violence on the news, there's no point in taking it out of shows that need it for entertainment value.
#3 - Anything you can do to draw attention to your mouth is good.
Alternate - Searching for a boy in high school is as useless as searching for meaning in a Pauly Shore movie.

#2 - I know every time you turn on the TV that's what you see, Black People, sellin' the rock, pushin' the rock, pushin' the rock, yeah I know. But that wasn't a problem as long as it was here. It wasn't a problem until it was in Iowa on Wall Street where there are hardly any black people.
#3 - How many times do I have I told you, if a girl says she's on the pill, you use somethin anyway. Pill ain't goin' to keep your dick from falling off. I don't know why you insist on learning things the hard way, but you gon' learn.

Crash Davis from Bull Durham
#1 - I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.
#2 - You're gonna have to learn your clichés. You're gonna have to study them, you're gonna have to know them. They're your friends. Write this down: "We gotta play it one day at a time."
#3 - Relax, all right? Don't try to strike everybody out. Strikeouts are boring! Besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls - it's more democratic.
Alternate - Your shower shoes have fungus on them. You'll never make it to the bigs with fungus on your shower shoes. Think classy, you'll be classy. If you win 20 in the show, you can let the fungus grow back and the press'll think you're colorful. Until you win 20 in the show, however, it means you are a slob.
Alternate - You be cocky and arrogant, even when you're getting beat. That's the secret. You gotta play this game with fear and arrogance.

With whom of these mentors do you agree the most with?

The last 'with' is not needed.

Also, your list is rather long considering there is a lot to read. Perhaps you could remove a few, for instance #28 and #30, since they also contain some inappropriate language.
