The kind and caring rulers never get anywhere. They are weak, without a backbone. Once they get into a real fight they falter because of their love and care for their people and family. Those who are cruel and unforgiving are strong. They will not falter because they have no reason to. They will rise above the rest; they will win with great honor.
The Fire Nation was created by the uncaring and cold, and by the loving it will fall.

But is winning truly worth it if you have no loved ones to share it with? To have nothing but cold, hard, loveless power... that would be rather bitter, no?
But I suppose that the truly heartless would have no regrets of their actions and have no longing for love as most others do. *shakes head sadly* To know that there are such people in the world is heartbreaking.

Who cares about bitterness when you could have power. Thousands, maybe even millions of people looking up to you and wanting to follow your every will. People who "long for love" never make it far in this life. They are weak and poor, and will never make a difference on this world.
I guess that without the "loving" people there would be no people to have power over, so I guess that is their sole reason for existence.

I can see, then, that there is no persuading you. Though it pains me dearly (just as it does with Ozai) to see a member of my own family so full of hate and thoughts of power, I will let it be for now. If you ever wish to talk with me, my niece, my heart is always open.
In the meantime, I think I shall enjoy a nice soothing cup of tea. Feel free to join me if you wish.

There is no time for tea, Iroh. There is a war in the happening. We must ensure that the Fire Nation win is unavoidable. I know you don't care a bit, though. That is another one of your major faults.

I do not think that taking time to relax and enjoy my life is a fault. You really ought to take some time for yourself too; the stress levels might start to get to you. Try not to overdo yourself, or you could wind up losing this battle after all.

Those who sit back and relax are lazy and never get anything done. Did our leaders create the Fire Nation by sitting back and drinking TEA? No. They worked day and night endlessly, risking their lives every moment. I want to be BETTER than those leaders, so I must become stronger than them. Sitting back and relaxing will not get me what I desire.

No problem, m'dear. *takes tea* Ginseng is my favorite, but I'll take any flavour. Thank you very much.
Weakness is in the eye of the beholder, as is beauty. For you may see love and compassion as a weakness, Princess Azula, but I see it has a way to grow in spiritual strength. To be the best of the best is your desire, but I raise a skeptical eyebrow as to whether or not you can succeed if you are not properly balanced.
A balanced mind and an open heart can get you places that physical strength may not.
*sips tea* This is delicious, Katara! *smiles* May I offer you anything, m'dear?

...
Balance!? BALANCE!? Is this what this whole fiasco is about!
*pounds hand on table*
*tea stuff goes flying everywhere*
I'm tired of all of this jibberish you're telling me. See the standpoint we're at now? I am a princess and hold a great deal of power. You... you're... an old, retired man who does practically NOTHING. In the near future, I could be the mastermind behind our great war strategies. I could become a great leader and NOBODY would tell me what to do! NOBODY will tell me what's wrong with me! NOBODY will point out my faults because I have NO faults!
Who knows, in the near future I could be the one deciding if it's life or death for you. And hopefully I won't pick the latter. You'd better get on my good side now, or you could come to regret it.
*turns and walks away with a smug smile on her face*

@azula: it was just a harmless question about your personality

Well, I guess in your point of view anyway (which isn't much of a view, by the way) I am like this all of the time. At least I'm not a traitor like Mai.
