Gladiator

"What we do in life echoes in eternity."

"Are you not entertained?"

"My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius."

"Father to a murdered son. Husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next."

"Strength and honor."

"Death smiles at us all. All a man can do is smile back."

"Win the crowd and you’ll win your freedom."

"Sometimes I do what I want to do. The rest of the time, I do what I have to."

"What we do in life echoes in eternity."

"Marcus Aurelius had a dream that was Rome, Proximo. This is not it. This is not it."

"At my signal, unleash hell."

"He’ll bring them death, and they will love him for it."

"The frost. Sometimes it makes the blade stick."

"Not yet. Not yet."

"People should know when they’re conquered."

"Rise. Rise."

"Am I not merciful?"

"The general who became a slave. The slave who became a gladiator. The gladiator who defied an emperor."

"There was once a dream that was Rome. You could only whisper it."

"Nothing happens to anyone that he is not fitted by nature to bear."

"Tell me again, Maximus, why are we here?"

"And now they love Maximus for his mercy."

"So I can't just kill him, or it makes me even more unmerciful!"

"And if his mother so much as looks at me in a manner that displeases me, he will die."

"If she decides to be noble and takes her own life, he will die."

"And as for you - you will love me as I loved you."

"You will provide me with an heir of pure blood, so that Commodus and his progeny will rule for a thousand years."

"Which wiser, older man is to take my place?"

"You wrote to me once, listing the four chief virtues: wisdom, justice, fortitude and temperance."

"As I read the list, I knew I had none of them."

"That can be a virtue when it drives us to excel."

"All they do is run around not mating!"

"For me -- 6,000 sesterces and I want to see their balls first."

"You throw in this one and we'll make it 7,000 sesterces for the whole lot."

"I'll take the lions, the panther, the Numidian and this one for 7,000."

"And I'll buy you the best whore in the town for two nights."

"She's an enormous mountain of flesh who craves a stern hand."

"Here you will be trained in the art of combat."

"Here you will be given the tools to survive."

"Please my patrons in the arena and all the gifts of the world will be showered upon you."

"Imagine riches beyond your paltry dreams of riches!"
