I like those quotes, Scarlet.

From Hornblower: The Duchess and the Devil-
Capt. Pellew: Yes, England, boy. A big, damp, foggy island nor-noreast of Ushant. Think you can find it?

From the movie Come What May-
Caleb Hogan: “My father was right. If you don’t believe your wife is precious, you won’t cherish her. If you don’t believe love is best when it is pure and new, you wait patiently for it. If you don’t believe the baby in the womb is the living handiwork of God, you’ll do nothing to protect it! What do you believe?”

From Fireproof-
Caleb Holt: You never leave your partner! Especially in a fire!

Michael Simmons: Man, God meant marriage to be for life. That's why you gotta keep your vows to Catherine. You gotta beg God to teach you to be a good husband. And don't just follow your heart, man; 'cause your heart can be deceived. But you gotta lead your heart.

“True love is faithful, like spring in April. It is as dependable as time. And it is able to hold on and survive, when other loves might say good-bye.”-Nicole C. Mullen

More from Fireproof-
Michael Simmons: Fireproof doesn't mean the fire will never come. It means when the fire comes that you will be able to withstand it.

Mr. Rudolph: Irma, I don't want you talking to that boy. He's weird.
Irma Rudolph: Takes one to know one.

From Gladiator-
Maximus: What we do in life, echoes in eternity.

My favorite quote is from the LWW. When Aslan says to the White Witch

Hmm, my favorite quote...that would have to be from Audrey Hepburn:
