- "What will it be like when I leave these walls?" - Young Caine
- "'You will laugh at me.' - Young Caine
'And will that destroy you if an old man laughs?' - Master Po
'No, Master. Laugh if it pleases you.'" - Young Caine- ". . . you must remain alert for people, even priests, are not always what they seem." - Master Po
- "There will be a harsh judgment for he who steals from a holy man." - Caine
- ". . . our friend found this; it could have fallen from your robe." - Caine (could have but in fact it didn't since the 'friend' stole it)
- "Seek help where you can." - Master Po
- "You must wait for the moment. . . . For at the right time all may be reached." - Master Po
- "The sage says, 'For good return good. For evil return justice.'" - Master Po (may refer to the TAO TE CHING chapter #49)
- "In your actions be bold and forthright for what walls may stop a Shaolin priest?" - Master Po (yet in a quote from #46 "Blood of the Dragon" pt. 2, Master Kan spoke specifically against acting with forthrightness)
- "You are quick, Priest, but you are not invisible." - on Caine
- "One does not become a priest to seek fame." - Caine
- ". . . your path ahead may sometimes seem obscure." - Master Po
- "'Sometimes. . . it seems as if a wall lies between myself and others. A wall through which I may see but not touch.' - Young Caine
'You feel the fault within yourself?' - Master Po
'I do not know where the fault lies, but I feel apart.' - Young Caine
'In your conversation with this other, more is left unsaid than is said. Who can know himself well enough to speak all? Who is so well founded to hear all? The sage says, 'Shape clay into a vessel, cut doors and windows for a room; it is the space within which makes it useful.' So we must listen for the space between us. We must hear the silences.'" - Master Po (quoting the TAO TE CHING chapter #11 which is also quoted in #25 "The Hoots")- "The way runs true through darkness through shadow: neither is cause for despair. The sage has said, 'The five colors blind the eye. The five tones deafen the ear. The five flavors dull the taste.' Therefore the wise man is guided by what he feels not by what he sees. When our senses are confused and overpowered, our deeper feelings may yet keep us on the way." - Master Po, quoting the TAO TE CHING chapter #12 [F]
- "'Master, I see others and they seem to know the way.' - Young Caine
'Do you?' - Master Po
'I am puzzled and unsure. I move one way and then another to no purpose.' - Young Caine
'And, therefore, grieve.' - Master Po
'Yes, Master.' - Young Caine
'The sage has said, 'Others are contented. I alone am drifting, not knowing where I am. I'm alone without knowing where to go. I am different. I am nourished by the great mother.' In an uncertain hour, the wise man acknowledges uncertainty.'" - Master Po, quoting the TAO TE CHING chapter #20 [F]- "I will stay. You have my word." - Caine, expecting his word to be accepted
- When reference is made to Prince Land Wo of the Land Dynasty, it is one of the few times in this series that the family name is put first as it is in China.
- Caine undertakes to deliver a message to Master Po but since he is out in the world, he is not returning to the temple as this episode sort of implies, but, then how did Caine get the assignment in the first place? - while out in the world, he is not suppose to be in contact with the temple (see description of how and why they all stay separate in next episode).
