Pretty much any quote from Minsc.

"We do not know what our chances of survival are, so we fight as if they were zero. We do not know what we are facing, so we fight as if it was the dark gods themselves. No one will remember us now and we may never be buried beneath Titan, so we will build our own memorial here. The Chapter might lose us and the Imperium might never know we existed, but the Enemy — the Enemy will know. The Enemy will remember. We will hurt it so badly that it will never forget us until the stars burn out and the Emperor vanquishes it at the end of time. When Chaos is dying, its last thought will be of us. That is our memorial — carved into the heart of Chaos. We cannot lose, Grey Knights. We have already won."

"People the better of 6 feet tall and half as wide often have uneventfull adventures. People jump out at them from behind rocks and say 'Oh I thought you were someone else'"

Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be the miracle.
Phillips Brooks (1835 - 1893)

If you do not read the newspaper, you are uninformed. If you do read the newspaper, you are misinformed. - Mark Twain

"There are two ways to handle a woman. Unfortunately, no one knows either of them." -Mark Twain

"We were in prison for 40 minutes....."
"Prison changed me quickly!" -Thog and Elan

It is far more interesting to fail at being a pioneer the be brutally successful at following the herd.

A heart doth break as easily as a fresh spring bud, carelessly crushed underfoot.

Love can be a weapon; it hurts. Love can take the form of happiness, when you're with the person you love, you can't help but smile. Love can be a source of unhappiness; when you are apart, it causes sadness; and when you love someone but cannot express it, it causes much grief. Love is many things; it is the root source of many emotional chain reactions; it is overused; but when it is used correctly, it is powerful; in all forms.

I have nothing to declare but my genius - Oscar Wilde

And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it." Amen. - Instructions for the use of the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch

You are as thick as clotted cream, that has been left out by some clot until the clots are so clotted up you couldn't unclot them with an electric de-clotter - Edmund Blackadder

Life doesn't cease to be funny when people die anymore than it ceases to be serious when people laugh. - George Bernard Shaw
