"If I'm not back in 10 minutes, call the Pope!"

"Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and for thy possession, the ends of the earth. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron. Thou shalt dash them in pieces, like a potters vessel. Be wise now therefore ye kings. Be admonished ye judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the son lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, though his wrath be kindled but a little."
—Father Alexander Anderson, Hellsing
|
"I am the righteous shield of Moradin and a sword in his mighty hand! I fear no evil!"
—Paladin Class Opening Quote, Dungeons and Dragons Player's Handbook

Danilo Thann: A paladin may well be the finest, purest example of what a man can be -- the epitome of all that is noble. And a paladin mounted for battle on his war charger, filled with holy zeal and absolute courage, might well be the most inspiring sight that many mortals could hope to see. He can, and does, accomplish much good. But a hundred paladins, a thousand? United in purpose, single-minded and driven by their sense of duty? I tell you truly, Uncle, I can think of no better definition of terror. |
"I'm sorry to tell you that our name, 'Sisters of Mercy', is a bit misleading. God shows mercy. We don't."
—Sister Marguerite, Sister Claire
|
And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the Lord did grin.
|
God made us the boss. —Mass, "God Said"
|
Delenn: Three years. For three years I warned you this day was coming. But you would not listen. Pride, you said, presumption. And now the Shadows are on the move. The Centauri and the younger worlds are at war, the Narns have fallen. Even the Humans are fighting one another. The pride was yours, the presumption was yours. For a thousand years we have been awaiting for fulfilment of prophecy, and when it finally happens, you scorn it, you reject it. Because you no longer believe it yourselves. 'We stand between the candle and the star, between the darkness and the light.' You say the words, but your hearts are empty, your ears closed to the truth. You stand for nothing but your own petty interests. 'Problems of others are not our concern.' I do not blame you for standing silent in your shame. You, who knew what was coming, but refused to take up the burden of this war. If the warrior caste will not fight, then the rest of us will. If the Council has lost its way, if it will not lead, if we have abandoned our covenant with Valen, the Council should be broken, as was prophecied. We must stand with the others now, before it's too late. Between the worker caste and the religious caste we control two thirds of our forces. Do you, I say, listen to the voice of your conscience? Break the Council, and come with we. Our time of isolation is over. We move now, together, or not at all."
—Babylon 5 episode Severed Dreams
|
I will not be slightly worried or reluctant to leave my wife and young daughter under protection of any Sikh soldier.
—Anonymous British General
|
God made Arakis to train the faithful.
—Dune
|
I pray for the safety of all good people who come to Zion. *Cocks pistol* But we can't expect God to do all the work.
|
When our lord found his temple polluted by money changers and beasts, did he cry? Did he ask them to leave? Did he simply walk away? No. He drove them out.
|
"Hell’s bells. I don’t call him the Fist of God as a pet name, folks."
—Harry Dresden on Michael Carpenter, Small Favor

There will be times when a officer will find the limitless hosts of the enemies of man arrayed against him, when all hopes for victory fade away to leave them confronted with the bitter truth of their own mortality. Perhaps it could have been avoided, but perhaps not, know that this galaxy despises man and his works, and in such a dark place and dark time, the only victory possible is over one's own despair. The commander must reach deep into his own soul, and the souls of his men, and find the most terrible and potent weapon in his arsenal - devotion to the Emperor, defiance unto death, face the enemy in their multitude with fire in your heart and a prayer on your lips! Your deaths are your own, and thus do you deny the enemy his victory.

As my Master told it to me I now tell it to thee that thou shalt tell others in thy turn. |
