DOCTOR: Never be cruel. Never be cowardly. Hate is always foolish. Love is always wise. Always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind.
— Twelfth Doctor, Twice Upon a Time
DOCTOR: Winning? Is that what you think it's about? I'm not trying to win. I'm not doing this because I want to beat someone, or because I hate someone, or because, because I want to blame someone. It's not because it's fun and God knows it's not because it's easy. It's not even because it works, because it hardly ever does. I do what I do, because it's right! Because it's decent! And above all, it's kind. It's just that. Just kind. If I run away today, good people will die. If I stand and fight, some of them might live. Maybe not many, maybe not for long. Hey, you know, maybe there's no point in any of this at all, but it's the best I can do, so I'm going to do it. And I will stand here doing it till it kills me. You're going to die too, some day. How will that be? Have you thought about it? What would you die for? Who I am is where I stand. Where I stand, is where I fall. Stand with me. These people are terrified. Maybe we can help, a little. Why not, just at the end, just be kind?
— Twelfth Doctor, The Doctor Falls
DOCTOR: They're not your rescuers. They're your replacements. The end point of capitalism. A bottom line where human life has no value at all. We're fighting an algorithm, a spreadsheet. Like every worker, everywhere, we're fighting the suits.
— Twelfth Doctor, Oxygen
DOCTOR: Human progress isn't measured by industry, it's measured by the value you place on a life. An unimportant life. A life without privilege. The boy who died on the river, that boy's value is your value. That's what defines an age. That's what defines a species.
— Twelfth Doctor, Thin Ice
DOCTOR: Time And Relative Dimension In Space. TARDIS for short. You're safe in here. You're safe in here and you always will be.
— Twelfth Doctor, The Pilot
DOCTOR: There's this emperor and he asks this shepherd's boy, how many seconds in eternity? And the shepherd's boy says there's this mountain of pure diamond. It takes an hour to climb it, and an hour to go around it! Every hundred years, a little bird comes and sharpens its beak on the diamond mountain. And when the entire mountain is chiselled away, the first second of eternity will have passed! You must think that's a hell of a long time. Personally, I think that's a hell of a bird.
— Twelfth Doctor, Heaven Sent
DOCTOR: The hybrid is not half dalek, nothing is half dalek. The daleks would never allow that. The hybrid, destined to conquer Gallifrey and stand in its ruins... is me.

DOCTOR: You'll find that it's a very small universe when I'm angry with you.
— Twelfth Doctor, Face the Raven
DOCTOR: There's a horror movie called Alien? That's really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.
— Twelfth Doctor, Last Christmas
DOCTOR: I really didn't know. I wasn't sure. You lose sight sometimes. Thank you! I am not a good man! I am not a bad man. I am not a hero. And I'm definitely not a president. And no, I'm not an officer. Do you know what I am? I am an idiot, with a box and a screwdriver. Just passing through, helping out, learning. I don't need an army. I never have, because I've got them. Always them. Because love, it's not an emotion. Love is a promise.
— Twelfth Doctor, Death in Heaven
Tags: Sad
DOCTOR: Sometimes the only choices you have are bad ones. But you still have to choose.
— Twelfth Doctor, Mummy on the Orient Express
DOCTOR: We all change, when you think about it. We're all different people all through our lives. And that's okay, that's good, you've got to keep moving, so long as you remember all the people that you used to be. I will not forget one line of this. Not one day. I swear. I will always remember when the Doctor was me.
— Eleventh Doctor, The Time of the Doctor
DOCTOR: Charley, C'Rizz, Lucie, Tamsin, Molly. Friends, companions I've known, I salute you. And Cass, I apologise. Physician, heal thyself.
— Eighth Doctor, The Night of the Doctor
OHILA: We restored you to life, but it's a temporary measure. You have a little under four minutes.
DOCTOR: Four minutes? That's ages. What if I get bored? I need a television, couple of books, anyone for chess? Bring me knitting.
— The Night of the Doctor
DOCTOR: I walked away from the last Great Time War. I marked the passing of the Time Lords.
I saw the birth of the universe and I watched as time ran out, moment by moment, until nothing remained.
No time. No space. Just me.
I walked in universes where the laws of physics were devised by the mind of a mad man.
I've watched universes freeze and creations burn. I've seen things you wouldn't believe. I have lost things you will never understand.
And I know things. Secrets that must never be told. Knowledge that must never be spoken. Knowledge that will make parasite gods blaze.
So come on, then. Take it! Take it all, baby! Have it! You have it all!
— The Rings of Akhaten
DOCTOR: I'm not running away. But this is one corner of one country in one continent on one planet that's a corner of a galaxy that's a corner of a universe that is forever growing and shrinking and creating and destroying and never remaining the same for a single millisecond. And there is so much, so much to see, Amy. Because it goes so fast. I'm not running away from things, I am running to them before they flare and fade forever. And it's all right. Our lives won't run the same. They can't. One day, soon maybe, you'll stop. I've known for a while.
— Eleventh Doctor, The Power of Three
KOVARIAN: The anger of a good man is not a problem. Good men have too many rules.
DOCTOR: Good men don't need rules. Today is not the day to find out why I have so many.
— A Good Man Goes to War
HOUSE: Fear me. I've killed hundreds of Time Lords.
DOCTOR: Fear me. I've killed all of them.
— The Doctor’s Wife
DOCTOR: In 900 years of time and space, I’ve never met anyone who wasn’t important.
— Eleventh Doctor, A Christmas Carol
DOCTOR: Sorry, sorry, dropped it. Hello, Stonehenge! Who takes the Pandorica, takes the universe. But bad news, everyone, because guess who? Ha! Listen, you lot, you're all whizzing about. It's really very distracting. Could you all just stay still a minute because I am talking! The question of the hour is, who's got the Pandorica? Answer, I do. Next question. Who's coming to take it from me? Come on! Look at me. No plan, no back up, no weapons worth a damn. Oh, and something else. I don't have anything to lose! So, if you're sitting up there in your silly little spaceship, with all your silly little guns, and you've got any plans on taking the Pandorica tonight, just remember who's standing in your way. Remember every black day I ever stopped you, and then, and then, do the smart thing. Let somebody else try first.
— Eleventh Doctor, The Pandorica Opens
DOCTOR: The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things or make them unimportant.
— Eleventh Doctor, Vincent and the Doctor
DOCTOR: Didn't anyone every tell you there's one thing you never put in a trap? If you're smart, if you value your continued existence, if you have any plans about seeing tomorrow, there is one thing you never, ever put in a trap.
ANGEL BOB: And what would that be, sir?
DOCTOR: Me.
— The Time of Angels

DOCTOR: Wait. Hang on. I know what I need. I need, I need, I need fish fingers and custard.
(The Doctor contentedly dips the fish fingers into a bowl of custard and eats, while Amelia has ice cream)
— The Eleventh Hour
DOCTOR: I'm the Doctor. Do everything I tell you, don't ask stupid questions, and don't wander off.
— Eleventh Doctor, The Eleventh Hour
