"Savior, conqueror, hero, villain. You are all things,and yet you are nothing. In the end you belong to neither the light nor the darkness. You will forever stand alone."
-Darth Malak
"You see, the war, the true war, has never been one waged by droids, warships, or soldiers. They are but crude matter, obstacles against which we test ourselves." -Kreia
O.K. it was 2. but they were both good.
Can't let you do that, Star Fox. (Can't let you brew that, Starbucks.)

So here's this giant enemy crab, and I'm gonna attack it's weak point...for massive damage.
I am ready to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter. by Winston Churchill
Mine is quite a biggy:
"I've seen horrors... horrors that you've seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that... but you have no right to judge me. It's impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror. Horror has a face... and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies. I remember when I was with Special Forces. Seems a thousand centuries ago. We went into a camp to inoculate the children. We left the camp after we had inoculated the children for Polio, and this old man came running after us and he was crying. He couldn't see. We went back there and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that. The genius. The will to do that. Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized they were stronger than we. Because they could stand that these were not monsters. These were men... trained cadres. These men who fought with their hearts, who had families, who had children, who were filled with love... but they had the strength... the strength... to do that. If I had ten divisions of those men our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral... and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling... without passion... without judgment... without judgment. Because it's judgment that defeats us."

Nice, I loved how Kreia screwed with my head every time I made a decision she didn't agree with. I suppose mine would be "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" - Jesus
Keep moving on until forever ends.
Okay not exactly a quote so I offer this as an alternative.

Wow. Thank you for sharing that one with us, I'm saving it right now.Mine is quite a biggy:

There are a ton that I like (I like quotes from presidents):
"We, and all others who believe in freedom as deeply as we do, would rather die on our feet than live on our knees" - Franklin Roosevelt
"Now, my countrymen . . . if you have been taught doctrines conflicting with the great landmarks of the Declaration of Independence; if you have listened to suggestions which would take away from its grandeur, and mutilate the fair symmetry of its proportions; if you have been inclined to believe that all men are not created equal in those inalienable rights enumerated by our chart of liberty, let me entreat you to come back. Return to the fountain whose waters spring close by the blood of the Revolution. Think nothing of me-take no thought for the political fate of any man whomsoever-but come back to the truths that are in the Declaration of Independence. You may do anything with me you choose, if you will but heed these sacred principles. You may not only defeat me for the Senate, but you may take me and put me to death. While pretending no indifference to earthly honors, I do claim to be actuated in this contest by something higher than an anxiety for office. I charge you to drop every paltry and insignificant thought for any man's success. It is nothing; I am nothing; Judge Douglas is nothing. But do not destroy that immortal emblem of Humanity-the Declaration of American Independence." - Abraham Lincoln
"Common looking people are the best in the world: that is the reason the Lord makes so many of them." - Abraham Lincoln
"Speak softly and carry a big stick." - Theodore Roosevelt
"Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorius triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt
"Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft. " - Theodore Roosevelt
"Trust, but verify" - Russian saying, made popular by Ronald Reagan
"An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows. " - Dwight Eisenhower
"Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels - men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs, may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion. " - Dwight Eisenhower
"Blessed are the young for they shall inherit the national debt. " - Herbert Hoover
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." Martin Luther King Jr.
"Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable."
"Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil." - C.S. Lewis
"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." - Michael Jordan

I've always liked this quote:
"I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain."
-John Adams
Yes, it's also the quote from Pianist's sig.
