Lore: "All right. This is a figure of High magic. Three of them, really, one inside the other, like layered walls. Remember what I told you about magical circles?"
Kim nodded. "That they either hold something out or keep it in. Either magic energies or creatures of the Nevernever, but that mortal creatures can cross the circle and break it."
Fool Moon, Chapter One

Rapport:
"I’ve come to Chicago to kill you, Mister Dresden. But I have a proposal for you that I want you to hear, first." "You really need to work on your opening technique," I said.

For Performanace (though Rapport or Presence might also work).
"Some words have a power that has nothing to do with supernatural forces. They resound in the heart and mind, they live long after the sounds of them have died away, they echo in the heart and the soul. They have power, and that power is quite real." Grave Peril: Chapter 35, pages 344-345 in the paperback

Discipline/Conviction: Storm Front paperback page 20 "The way magic works. Whenever you do something with it, it comes from inside of you. Wizards have to focus on what they're trying to do, visualize it, believe it, to make it work. You can't make something happen that isn't part of you, inside."
Not sure exactly what category this quote fits, but it seems like good fluff for the RPG Dead beat (hardcover) page 75 (beginning of chapter 8) "Magic comes from life, and especially from emotions. They're a source of the same intangivle energy that everyone can feel when an autumn moon rises and fills you with a sudden sense of bone-deep excitement, or when the first warm breeze of spring rushes past your face, full of the scents of life, and drowns you in a sudden flood of unreasoning joy... {about half a paragraph more}
More quotes later

Burglary- Long one, but funny as helll...edit as needed. Proven Guilty pages 282-283 "Hey, Murph," I said, "Look at that Zeppelin." "Hey," Thomas said, "When did you get those?" "Butters says it's good fot my hand to do physical therapy involving the use of manual dexterity." "Thomas snorted, "So you started learning to pick locks? I thought you were playing guitar." "This is simpler," I said, "and it doesn't make dogs start to howling." "I might have killed you if I'g heard 'House of the Rising Sun' oe more time," Thomas agreed. "Where'd you get the picks?" I glanced over my shoulder at Murphy and said, "Little bird." "One of these days, Dresden," Murphy said, still subbornly faced away.

Weapons: Never be afraid to try unconventional weaponry from Blood Rites Chapter 30 Kincaid reached into the van and presented me with a futuristic-looking weapon, a gun. It had a round tank the size of a gumball machine attatched to the frame, and for a second I thought I had been handed a pistol sized flame thrower. Then I recognized it, cleared my throat and said, "This is a paintball gun."
Effects of holy water on Black Court Vampires from Blood Rites Chapter 33 ...they splattered into Mavra, sizzling viciously. Silver fire immediately began chewing at her flesh wherever the paintballs struck and broke. It ripped into her and happened fast, as if some hyper kinetic gourmet were taking a melon baller to her chest.

Here are a few for Scholarship
SK ch10 "Bob, wake up," I said, lighting candles. "I need to pick your brain."
DB ch3 "Bob," I said as I climbed down into the pitch-dark lab. "Warm up the memory banks. I've got work to do."
DB ch 26 "Research," Butters said. "What kind of research?"
SF ch10 Dammit. I was going to have to do that research after all
