~ Alfred encouraging Bruce right after Wayne Manor is burn to the ground.

Most of the time, it happens when the hero or heroine is down on his or her luck.

Additionally, it comes to times where the hero or someone is in despair and already losing hope within them or those who are struggling with the strength to keep moving forward.

Quotes

“ Simba. (Simba: Father?) (A giant shadow of Mufasa's Ghost appears in the clouds through Simba's vision) Simba, you have forgotten me. (Simba: No. How could I?) You've forgotten who you are, so you have forgotten me. Look inside yourself Simba. You are more than what you have become. You must take your place in the Circle of Life. (Simba doubting himself: How can I go back? I'm not who I use to be.) Remember who you are. You are my son and the one true king. Remember who you are. „

“ (Julius: DAVID! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?) I'm making a mess! (Julius: Yeah, this I can see.) We gotta burn the rainforest, dump toxic waste, pollute the air and rip up the ozone! Because maybe if we screw this planet up enough- (he suddenly collapses, drunk) ...they won't want it anymore. (Julius (rushes forward to help) David! Don't do this to yourself. Listen to me, listen to me.) I'm listening. (Julius: Everyone loses faith at some point in their lives (takes a bottle from David's hands) Even myself. I haven't spoken to God since your mother died. You see, sometimes, we have to remember what we still have.) Like what? (Julius: Well...you still have your health. Come on, David, you need your rest. Come on, get off this freezing concrete floor before you catch cold. Come on.) What did you just say? (Julius: What, about faith? Well, you see, a man can live his entire life-) No, the other part. (Julius: What? I don't want you to catch cold. (pause) What is it, what's the matter.) Genius. (Julius: Genius?) My dad, a total genius. „

“ Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world, and you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. Mankind. That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom. Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution… but from annihilation. We're fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice: We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day! „
~ President Thomas Whitmore giving a powerful speech to his new comrades.
“ Charles. (Young Charles: Charles.) [Old Charles nods] (Young Charles: So this is what becomes of us? Erik is right. Humanity does this to us.) Not if we show them a better path. (Young Charles: You still believe?) Just because someone stumbles or loses their way it doesn't mean they are lost forever. Sometimes we all need a little help. (Young Charles: Oh, I'm not the man I was. I opened my mind, and it almost overwhelms me.) You're afraid, and Cerebro knows it. (Young Charles: All those voices.... so.... much.... pain.) It's not their pain you're afraid of. It's yours, Charles. And as frightening as it may be, their pain will make you stronger. If you allow yourself to feel it, embrace it, it will make you more powerful than you ever imagine. It's the greatest gift we have. To bare their pain without breaking, and it's born from the most human power: hope. Please Charles, we need you to hope again. „

[Raphaels approach Splinter and sits right next to him as he places the match on the candle.] My master Yoshi's first rule was, "Possess the right thinking." Only then can one receive the gift of strength, knowledge and piece. (turns Raphael's face towards him) I have tried to channel your anger Raphael, but more remains. Anger clouds the mind, turn inward, it is an unconquerable enemy.

“ Psst!, Psst! Hey, Buzz! (Buzz doesn't respond as he's still depressed discovering that he's a toy and Woody picks up a stray washer from the desktop and throws it at Buzz's helmet and Buzz looks at Woody) Hey! Get over here and see if you can get this tool box off me. (Buzz looks away from Woody) Oh, come on, Buzz. I... Buzz, I can't do this without you. I need your help. (Buzz Lightyear (still depressed): I can't help. I can't help anyone.) Why, sure you can, Buzz. You can get me out of here and then I'll get that rocket off you, and we'll make a break for Andy's house. (Buzz Lightyear: Andy's house. Sid's house. What's the difference?) Oh, Buzz, you've had a big fall. You must not be thinking clearly. (Buzz Lightyear: No, Woody, for the first time I am thinking clearly. You were right all along. I'm not a Space Ranger. I'm just a toy. A stupid, little, insignificant toy.) Whoa, hey wait a minute. Being a toy is a lot better than being a Space Ranger. (Buzz Lightyear: Yeah, right.) No, it is. Look, over in that house is a kid who thinks you are the greatest, and it's not because you're a Space Ranger, pal, it's because you're a toy! You are his toy. (Buzz Lightyear: But why would Andy want me?) Why would Andy want you? Look at you, you're a Buzz Lightyear. Any other toy would give up his moving parts just to be you. You've got wings, you glow in the dark, you talk, your helmet does that... that whoosh thing. You are a cool toy. (Woody pauses and becomes depressed too) As a matter of fact, you're too cool. I mean... I mean what chance does a toy like me have against a Buzz Lightyear action figure? All I can do is... (Woody pulls his pull-string) (Voice Box: There's a snake in my boot.) Why would Andy ever want to play with me, when he's got you? I'm the one that should be strapped to that rocket. (Woody becomes dejected against the crate and Buzz sees the signature "ANDY" on the bottom of his foot and discovers that maybe being a toy is a lot better than being a space ranger and looks back at Woody while Woody is still dejected) Listen Buzz, forget about me. You should get out of here while you can. (Woody turns around, but Buzz is gone and Woody discovers that the milkcrate is shaking and discovers that Buzz has finally took Woody's advice about being the importance of Andy's toy as he is on the milkcrate, trying to push the tool box off, so he and Woody can escape) Buzz!! What are you doing? I thought you were- (Buzz Lightyear: Come on, Sheriff. There's a kid over in that house who needs us. Now let's get you out of this thing.) Yes Sir! (Woody puts his hat back on as he and Buzz push the milkcrate and the toolbox together) Come on, Buzz! We can do it! „
