{{quote|Here's a good tactic to put the evil mastermind off side. When you've been captured are about to be subjected to inevitable the megalomaniacal evil villain monologue, taunt the villain! Rattle off a list of how incompetent and stupid he is, and how all his plans are pathetic, and how his underlings are ripping off his evil villain employee pension plan behind his back.<br />

{{quote|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. |'''The Tactica Imperialis''', ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'' }}

And for their thousand blows deal one deathblow! <br />

Like men we'll face the murderous, cowardly pack, <br />

'''Pharaun Mizzrym''': [[Shut UP, Hannibal|Stop preening]]. You look ridiculous. This isn't [[Mental World|your pathetic dream world]]. This is reality, where I'm a prince of a great city and you're just a sort of mollusk, and a dead, putrid one at that.
