Movie Quotes

As men, what ignites our souls?

Using movie quotes, we try to capture what stirs the spirit within us.

Greek Ancient Sculpture of Warrior

Rogue One

"We have hope. Rebellions are built on hope!"

"And I fear nothing. For all is as the Force wills it.​"

"What chance do we have? The question is what choice? Run, hide, plead for mercy, scatter your forces. You give way to an enemy this evil with this much power and you condemn the galaxy to an eternity of submission. The time to fight is now!"

 "If we can make it to the ground, we'll take the next chance. And the next. On and on until we win... or the chances are spent."

Maugrim: Smart girl.

Mr. Beaver: Don't listen to him! Kill him! Kill him now!

Captain America: Civil War

"What are we giving up to do it? Sorry Nat, I can't sign."

"Compromise where you can. Where you can't, don't. Even if everyone is telling you that something wrong is something right. Even if the whole world is telling you to move, it is your duty to plant yourself like a tree, look them in the eye, and say, 'No, *you* move'."

 "This job... we try to save as many people as we can. Sometimes that doesn't mean everybody. But if we can't find a way to live with that, next time... maybe nobody gets saved."

"Every soldier has nightmares."

"Only one who is ashamed of what he has done."

"I belong to the warrior in whom the old ways have joined the new."

"You are perhaps unaware of our edict regarding the wearing of swords?"

"I read every edict with singular attention."

"Yet you bring weapons into this chamber?"

"This chamber was protected by my sword when --"

"We need no protection… We are a nation of laws now."

..."Then, I must refuse to give up my sword."

Rocky Balboa

"You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that!"

The Patriot

"When I have a family of my own, I won't hide behind them."

"Dan Scott, barely a week ago you railed for two hours about independence. Mr. Hardwick, how many times have I heard you speak of freedom at my father's table? Half the men in this church, including you, Father, and you, reverend are as ardent patriots as I. Will you now, when you are needed most, stop at only words? Is that the sort of men you are? I ask only that you act upon the beliefs of which you have so strongly spoken and in which you so strongly believe."

Charley Waite: You're men, ain't you?

Mack: I didn't raise my boys just to see 'em killed.

Charley Waite: Well you may not know this, but there's things that gnaw at a man worse than dying.

Batman Begins


"It's not who you are underneath, but what you do that defines you."

Henri Ducard: Your compassion is a weakness your enemies will not share.

Bruce Wayne: That's why it's so important. It separates us from them.

Henri Ducard: Your parents' death was not your fault.

Henri Ducard: It was your father's.

Henri Ducard: Anger does not change the fact that your father failed to act.

Bruce Wayne: The man had a gun!

Henri Ducard: Would that have stopped you?

Bruce Wayne: I've had training!

Henri Ducard: The training is nothing! The *will* is everything!

Henri Ducard: The will to act.

Henri Ducard: Are you ready to begin?

Bruce Wayne: I-I can barely stand...

Henri Ducard: Death does not wait for you to be ready! Death is not considerate, or fair! And make no mistake: here, you face Death.

Braveheart

"Every man dies, not every man really lives."

Young William: I can fight.

Malcolm Wallace: I know. I know you can fight. But it's our wits that make us men.

"Lord, give me the strength to die well."

Royal Magistrate: The prisoner wishes to say a word.

William Wallace: Freedom!!!

William Wallace: I am William Wallace! And I see a whole army of my countrymen, here in defiance of tyranny. You've come to fight as free men... and free men you are. What will you do with that freedom? Will you fight?

Veteran: Fight? Against that? No! We will run. And we will live.

William Wallace: Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!
