Oops..Well, another guess for the "that's likely enough to be true" is Lord Bern to Pug in VDT about how Pug treats his slaves as well as his children.

The last one I don't know, I guess...time to re-read the whole series just to find it! :p

Correct.

Aravis is also correct that the last one is from TMN.

Well, there are still these of mine that haven't been answered. We really need a better system to show which ones are done...

"No great wisdom can be reached without sacrifice."

"I wonder what they do teach them at these schools."<--This is kind of a trick one, and Benisse's current answer is not correct

"Yes, and it wouldn't have been alone, I know, not if I was with you."

"You didn't get any sleep, I dare say."
 
"You didn't get any sleep, I dare say" was said by Puddleglum after Scrubb and Jill had spent the night in his wigwam.

This one puzzled me a great deal, but I think I've got it. Wasn't it Uncle Andrew in The Magician's Nephew, justifying his actions after Polly was taken to the Wood Between the Worlds by the ring?
 
I do not know about those unanswered ones, I will probably look those up later. I do have a new one though, one that just popped into my mind..

"I know the difference between giving advice and taking orders. I've given my advice, now it's the time for orders."
 
"No great wisdom can be reached without sacrifice."
-- I agree with Miss R's suggestion.

"I wonder what they do teach them at these schools."
-- It's definitely Prof Kirke - is it at the end of LWW when they tell him about the coats?

"Yes, and it wouldn't have been alone, I know, not if I was with you."
-- Lucy to Aslan in PC, when he says to follow her even if the others don't.

"You didn't get any sleep, I dare say."
-- I agree with Glenburne.

"I know the difference between giving advice and taking orders. I've given my advice, now it's the time for orders."
-- Trumpkin, after the discussion on blowing the horn.

Here's my next:
"You would not have called to me unless I had been calling to you."

All correct! As for yours, it is Aslan talking to Jill on the mountain at the beginning of SC to explain why she came into Narnia.

Here are some from me:

"The worst of sleeping out of doors is that you wake up so dreadfully early."

"I may as well tell you I've got the wind up."

"Come on, then. Try my tusks."

"Tashlan would be angry. Shield us from Tashlan."

"So the horse never got his drink. Instead, the whole party found themselves sinking into darkness."
 
"The worst of sleeping out of doors is that you wake up so dreadfully early."
-- The opening line of PC ch 3, the children are at Cair Paravel

"I may as well tell you I've got the wind up."
-- Jill to Eustace, TLB ch 9, after realising how precarious their position now is.

"Come on, then. Try my tusks."
-- The boar, TLB ch 10, on being ordered into the stable.

"Tashlan would be angry. Shield us from Tashlan."
-- TLB ch 11, the response of many animals to Tirian's call to arms.

"So the horse never got his drink. Instead, the whole party found themselves sinking into darkness."
-- TMN ch 8, as Strawberry tries to drink in the pool in the wood between the worlds, but Digory and Polly put on their green rings to descend to Narnia before he can do so.

My next:
"We can't just go home, not after this."

"Regrettable violence, really must protest."

I believe Uncle Andrew said that in response to one of Jadis's tirades in London.
