Hoon Lee: Splinter

Quotes 

• Splinter : I lost many things: my family, my home, my name. But I gained many things as well, like the four of you.

• Splinter : I am impressed, Leonardo. You proved to be an effective leader under the most difficult circumstances.

  Leonardo : Thank you, sensei. I think I know why you made me leader.

  Splinter : Oh? And why is that?

  Leonardo : Because you sensed in me a true warrior spirit, that could forge us all to the great heroes we're destined to become.

  Splinter : No.

  Leonardo : No? Then why did you make me leader?

  Splinter : Because... you asked.

  Leonardo : That's it? But you seemed so certain you were right.

  Splinter : As a leader you will learn that there is no right and wrong, only choices.

  Leonardo : So you could have chosen any of us?

  Splinter : Yes.

  Leonardo : Even Mikey?

  Splinter : ...No, that would have been wrong.
