Favorite Quotes and Sayings...
As the subject says, this is the place all those favorite quotes, whether books, movies, or otherwise.
Here's two of mine for tonight:
From Hornblower: The Fire Ship -
Acting Lt. Horatio Hornblower: I need my men, Mr. Tapling!
Tapling: I have pains in my body, I cannot move. The hand of Death is upon me.
Acting Lt. Horatio Hornblower: In that case, you shall have no need for rations.
[Takes away his food]
Tapling: You would withold rations from a dying man?
Acting Lt. Horatio Hornblower: I would consider it my duty to help speed your release from this world, sir.
Tapling: [gets up] The Admiral will hear of this!
From Hornblower: The Duchess and the Devil-
[Knowing that his ship has only four guns]
Hornblower: How many guns does the "Oriental" have, Mr. Hunter.
M'Man Hunter: Forty-eight, sir.
Hornblower: Well, we'll certainly give them a run for their money, won't we Mr. Styles?
Styles: Certainly will sir. Take them at least a minute to sink us.

Re: Favorite Quotes and Sayings...
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.

Re: Favorite Quotes and Sayings...
“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.

Re: Favorite Quotes and Sayings...
My favorite quote is from the LWW. When Aslan says to the White Witch
"Don't resite the deep magic to me Witch! I was there when it was written!"
I just think that is the coolest line in the whole movie ,and the way he says it is just so powerful!

Hmm, my favorite quote...that would have to be from Audrey Hepburn:
"I believe in pink. I believe laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, in kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles."
