''The strongest among you may not wear a crown''

From the song Citizen Soldier by 3 Doors Down.
I've always loved this little piece of the song it just sounds so powerful ^^
I tend to make my characters in roleplay very commoner loving, but still loyal to the crown, so the sentence fits them perfectly

The Bene Gesserit Litany from the Dune movie.

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me."

I think there's a longer version in the books, but I've never read them.

Dune movie? There is no Dune movie. NO DUNE MOVIE I SAID! I CAN'T HEAR YOU LALALALALALALALALA!

I never even noticed that they cut the Litany against Fear too but I guess I was too much in pain from all the other parts of the story David Lynch was screwing with, not even Sir Patrick Stewart himself managed to save that film. I've got the CE box... it's not even correctly labelled, if you want the film you have to put in the disc labelled "extras".
Really, if you have seen the movie but not read the books you don't know Dune and I'd highly advise you to pick them up because they are exellent. The first one especially, it turns more into millennia-spanning politics later on.

OT: I'm going to "this" the post. Or use the correct version anyway. I do actually recite that sometimes.
It's also the basis for an awesome piece of Jazz music.

"The only easy day was yesterday" - Navy SEALs motto.
"Through the dark age and into the storm!" - Blind Guardian, Into the Storm.
"This. Is. Necessary. Life feeds on life, feeds on life, feeds on life, feeds on life." - Tool, Digustipated

That's all I can think of right now.

"Let others wage war," - The start of the Hapsburg family motto.

The rest, from memory, goes something along the lines of "you, lucky Austria, shall marry. What others gain from Mars' might, you shall receive from Venus's soft touch" (my translation is probably a bit off, but you get the idea) due to the Hapsburg family's tradition of winning more land through marriage than war.

I just love that phrase though. "Let others wage war." Frankly, it takes serious balls in imperialistic Europe to take that as your family motto. Hence my justification for having it as a badass creed.

Looking at that it's, uh, a wee bit sad that it was the death of a Hapsburg that kicked off World War I.

 

[Gormech]

My actions are my words.
My secret is my story.
Take it for what it is,
without preconception or belief,
and the lies will depart from you.
Now follow the truth that you have seen,
to be my ally or mine nemesis,
so that we may both meet in the light,
and banish the darkness from which it came.

Made it up.

[Itdoesthatsometimes]

Thanks life, so good to me
Probably better than it ever should be
I was down here just waiting for a call
I played it safe, then I kicked it up

I played the bass, I was in a band
I did lots of drug and I fucked all your friends
And I can understand why that would rub you wrong
But I love it down here, wont let you run me off

From one of my songs

I got one from my favorite book...

Life before Death
Strength before Weakness
Journey before Destination.

The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson.

well storm it. Ok second favorite book series...

"Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder?s eye on the last Day."

-The Aiel Creed, Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time

You son on a bloody goat.

Ok fine

If a song quote counts then Tyr's into the storm is a good one:
"When pagan poets/speak of heathen heroes/holding high the Old Ways/warriors waging into the storm/on wings of dragons/fame and fortune, into the storm"
Also a similar one from Ride:
"We ride, for the battle my brothers by my side
We fight, we were still standing by the morning light
They died, well at least those who didn't run to hide
We ride, for the borough where mead and wenches bide
we ride
we ride
Lesser men, hope for freedom when they die
home is where the heathen banners fly"

"Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder?s eye on the last Day."

I'm also quite partial to the Bene Gesserit one.

like that prefer

We'll drink the wine till the cup is dry,
And kiss the girls so they'll not cry,
And toss the dice until we fly,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows.


We'll dance all night until the moon runs free,
And dandle the lasses upon our knee,
And then you'll ride along with me,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows.


We'll sing all night, and drink all day,
And on the girls we'll spend our pay,
And when it's gone, then we'll away,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows.


There's some delight in ale and wine,
And some in girls with ankles fine,
But my delight, yes, always mine,
Is to dance with Jak o' the Shadows

We drink all night and dance all day,
and on the girls we spend our pay,
and when we're done, then we'll away,
to dance with Jak o' the Shadows

We'll toss the dice however they fall,
And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows.

We'll give a yell with a bloody curse,
And hug the maids, it could be worse,
As we ride away with the Dark One's purse,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows!


a bit long but hey you can sing it

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

Yup, one of my personal favourites as well. It got me through kindergarten, rape, accidents and the very first watching of Alien just fine.

Captcha:

marcia

marcia!

"To defeat evil, I shall become an even greater evil."
"The moment you try, is the moment you die."
"...We are accomplices..If you are the witch, then I'm the devil himself"

I can't believe you missed the big one. "Those who kill...should be prepared to BE killed."

 

[Templar_Gamer]

3 pages and we haven't had this one pop up yet?

I am the bone of my sword
Steel is my body and fire is my blood
I have created over a thousand blades
Unaware of loss, Nor aware of gain
Withstood pain to create weapons, waiting for one?s arrival
I have no regrets. This is the only path
My whole life was unlimited blade works

I am very disappoint, escapist forum.
