[Daniel Jackson introduces Gen. Hammond to Shifu, the Harcesis child]
Welcome to Earth.
A spark lights a flame, but the candle will only burn as long as the wick.
If I may, sir. I think what he means is the wick is the centre of the candle, and ostensibly a great leader, like yourself, is essential to the... whole ball of wax. Basically, what it means is that it's always better to have a big, long wick. Right?
Don't look at me.
It's right, though? Right?
Sir, we've received word from the Tok'ra.
[annoyed] Did we really have to call them?
If the instrument is broken, the music will be sour.
The music does not play the musician.
Normally there is truth in that.
Really? Good. Cause I really didn't have any idea what I was talking about.
Something on your mind?
Your behavior, as a matter of fact.
What about it?

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Oma teach you that?
Television.

Oma teaches the true nature of man is decided in the battle between the conscious mind and the desires of the subconscious, Oma teaches the evil of my subconscious is too strong to resist. The only way to win is to deny it battle.
[Jack is coming to visit Samantha in the jail]
I have talked to everyone I know. No one's answering my calls, responding to my e-mails, even my letters.
Because they think you're nuts.
