300 Movie Quotes: By King Leonidas
The world will know that free men stood against a tyrant, that few stood against many, and before this battle was over, even a god-king can bleed. ~ King Leonidas, 300 (2007). You have many slaves, Xerxes, but few warriors. It won't be long before they fear my spears more than your whips. ~ King Leonidas, 300 (2007). It would take more than the words than a drunken adolescent girl to rob me of my desire of you. ~ King Leonidas, 300 (2007). I'm here, just taking a stroll, stretching my legs. These, uh, 300 men are my personal bodyguard. ~ King Leonidas, 300 (2007). Spartans never retreat! Spartans never surrender! Go spread the word. Let every Greek assembled know the truth of this. Let each among them search his own soul. And while you're at it, search your own. ~ King Leonidas, 300 (2007). No retreat, no surrender; that is Spartan law. And by Spartan law we will stand and fight...and die. A new age has begun. An age of freedom, and all will know, that 300 Spartans gave their last breath to defend it! ~ King Leonidas, 300 (2007). In the end, a Spartan's true strength is the warrior next to him. So give respect and honor to him, and it will be returned to you. First, you fight with your head... ~ King Leonidas, 300 (2007). Unless I miss my guess, we're in for one wild night. ~ King Leonidas, 300 (2007). Give them nothing! But take from them everything! ~ King Leonidas, 300 (2007). 300 Movie Quotes: By Queen Gorgo Come back with your shield, or on it. ~ Queen Gorgo, 300 (2007). It is not a question of what a Spartan citizen should do, nor a husband, nor a king. Instead, ask yourself, my dearest love, what should a free man do? ~ Queen Gorgo, 300 (2007). Because only Spartan women give birth to real men. ~ Queen Gorgo, 300 (2007). Freedom isn't free at all, that it comes with the highest of costs. The cost of blood. ~ Queen Gorgo, 300 (2007). Your lips can finish what your fingers have started... or has the Oracle robbed you of your desire as well? ~ Queen Gorgo, 300 (2007). 300 Movie Quotes: By Xerxes It would be a regrettable waste. It would be nothing short of madness for you, brave king, and your valiant troops to perish. All because of a simple misunderstanding. There is much our cultures could share. ~ Xerxes, 300 (2007). But I am a generous god. I can make you rich beyond all measure. I will make you warlord of all Greece. You will carry my battle standard to the heart of Europa. Your Athenian rivals will kneel at your feet if you will but kneel at mine. ~ Xerxes, 300 (2007). It isn't wise to stand against me, Leonidas. Imagine what horrible fate awaits my enemies when I would gladly kill any of my own men for victory. ~ Xerxes, 300 (2007). You Greeks take pride in your logic. I suggest you employ it. Consider the beautiful land you so vigorously defend. Picture it reduced to ash at my whim! Consider the fate of your women! ~ Xerxes, 300 (2007). Unlike the cruel Leonidas, who demanded that you stand, I require only that you kneel. ~ Xerxes, 300 (2007). There will be no glory in your sacrifice. I will erase even the memory of Sparta from the histories! Every piece of Greek parchment shall be burned. Every Greek historian, and every scribe shall have their eyes pulled out, and their tongues cut from their mouths. Why, uttering the very name of Sparta, or Leonidas, will be punishable by death! The world will never know you existed at all! ~ Xerxes, 300 (2007). 300 Movie Quotes: By Dilios We did what we were trained to do, what we were bred to do, what we were born to do! ~ Dilios, 300 (2007). Immortals... they fail our king's test. And a man who fancies himself a god feels a very human chill crawl up his spine. ~ Dilios, 300 (2007). Taught never to retreat, never to surrender. Taught that death on the battlefield in service to Sparta was the greatest glory he could achieve in his life. ~ Dilios, 300 (2007). Hundreds leave, a handful stay. Only one looks back. ~ Dilios, 300 (2007). The enemy outnumber us a paltry three to one, good odds for any Greek. This day we rescue a world from mysticism and tyranny and usher in a future brighter than anything we can imagine. ~ Dilios, 300 (2007). "Remember us." As simple an order as a king can give. "Remember why we died." For he did not wish tribute, nor song, nor monuments nor poems of war and valor. His wish was simple. "Remember us," he said to me. That was his hope, should any free soul come across that place, in all the countless centuries yet to be. May all our voices whisper to you from the ageless stones, "Go tell the Spartans, passerby, that here by Spartan law, we lie." ~ Dilios, 300 (2007). And so my king died, and my brothers died, barely a year ago. Long I pondered my king's cryptic talk of victory. Time has proven him wise, for from free Greek to free Greek, the word was spread that bold Leonidas and his three hundred, so far from home, laid down their lives. Not just for Sparta, but for all Greece and the promise this country holds. ~ Dilios, 300 (2007). |
