Sakata Gintoki – Character Quotes

Even if I become a hunchbacked old man, I will still go forward.

There are two things people fear… those are death and embarrassment. Those who try to overcome death are just idiots, but I won’t laugh at those who try to overcome their embarrassment. I like those kind of idiots.
