"Ghosts, fix Silver!"

It's too long to quote, but that part in nemesis where the Eversor tries to support friendly troops but isn't paying attention and accidentally helps the enemy lol

For the Greater Good!

"The enemy of my enemy dies next"

They will be my finest warriors, these men who give themselves to me. Like clay shall I mould them, and in the furnace of war shall I forge them. They will be of iron will and steely muscle. In great armour shall I clad them and with the mightiest guns shall they be armed. They will be untouched by plague, or disease, no sickness shall blight them. They will have tactics, strategies, and machines such that no foe can best them in battle. They are my bulwark against the Terror. They are the Defenders of Humanity. They are my Space Marines, and they shall know no fear

"You are not free whose liberty is won by the rigour of other, more righteous souls. You are merely protected. Your freedom is parasitic, you suck the honorable man dry and offer nothing in return. You who have enjoyed freedom, who have done nothing to earn it, your time has come. This time you will stand alone and fight for yourselves. Now you will pay for your freedom in the currency of honest toil and human blood."

Men of Tanith! Do you want to live forever?

"After the orbital strikes, Thunderhawk bombardments, Whirlwinds, Vindicators, fusion and starfire and finally Battle Brothers with flamers had finished cleansing the world of all the enemies of Man, we built a monastery in the center of the largest, most radioactive impact crater. We named the planet 'Tranquility', for it was very quiet now." -Brother Vlad Carthas


"This death, this death is ours. We choose it. We deny you your victory" Captain Ullis Temeter

"The Emperor Protects" -Euphrati Keeler

"For eleven hundred years, I have fought and I have seen the darkness in our galaxy. I have seen the vileness of the alien and the heresy of the mutant. I have witnessed the sin of possession. I have seen all the evil that the galaxy harbors, and I have slain all whose presence defiles the Emperor. I have seen what you will see. I have fought what you must fight, and I have slain what you must slay.

Our enemies number untold billions and they will fight you with tooth and claw, with starships and guns, with vile sorceries and corrupt illusions. They are armed with all the strength that evil can muster. But you, brothers, have something more.

You are armoured by the Emperor himself. Righteousness is your shield, Faith your armour and Hatred your weapon. So fear not and be proud, for we are the sons of Sanguinius, the Protectors of Mankind. Aye, we are indeed the Angels of Death." - Commander Dante. Lord of the Blood Angels.

"Only the insane have strength enough to prosper.
Only those who prosper truly judge what is sane."
-Rogue Trader rule book.

"Each must find their own way. If those in our heartland had witnessed the savageries of the void as have we they would know this. The hand of each of the great Starfarers is turned against the other; none will join their strength together just to see their ancient enemy prosper. Neither should we" -O'Shovah, commander Farsight

Your presence does not surprise me, Assassin. I have known of you ever since your craft entered the Eastern Fringes. Why did I not have you killed? Because your mission and the act you are about to commit proves the truth of all I have ever said or done. I merely punished those who had wronged, just as your false Emperor now seeks to punish me. Death is nothing compared to vindication.

Little lord Fauntleroy wrote:And of course, the truly epic:
"My sons, the galaxy is burning. We all bear witness to a final truth - our way is not the way of the Imperium.
You have never stood in the Emperor's light.
You never worn the Imperial eagle.
And you never will.
You shall stand in midnight clad, your claws forever red with the lifeblood of my father's failed empire,
Warring through the centuries as the talons of a murdered god.
Rise, my sons, and take your wrath across the stars,
In my name. In my memory.
Rise my Night Lords"

Where are those two from?

These are from the Primarch of the greatest Legion ever, the Night Lord's Konrad Curze, or Night Haunter

I fly a starship across the Universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again, and again and again

We die standing.

"We die, standing" actually. Love this one as well.

From the DoW series I like others as well:

"An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded"

"Pile this one with the others" combat voice over for the chaos sorcerer.

And some random inquisition quotes:

"I carry with me an Inquisitorial Seal. It is a small, unassuming object contained in a neat box of Pluvian obsidian. It is a modest thing. Relatively plain, adorned with a single motif and a simple motto. Yet with this little object I can sign the death warrant of an entire world and consign a billion souls to Oblivion."

"I have spent my life learning of the xenos infesting our Imperium. Their legends are codebooks to the histories of the galaxy, and here is the final piece to the puzzle. No wonder the Conclave has resisted its exposure. They'll kill me if they discover I have it." -Xeneology

I'm da hand of Gork and Mork, dey sent me to rouse up da boyz to crush and kill ‘cos da boyz forgot what dere ‘ere for. I woz one of da boyz till da godz smashed me in da ‘ead an’ I ‘membered dat Orks is meant to conquer and make slaves of everyfing they don’t kill.
I’m da profit of da Waaagh an’ whole worlds burn in my boot prints. On Armour-Geddem, I led da boyz through da fire deserts and smashed da humies’ metal cities to scrap. I fought Yarik, old one-eye at Tarturus, an’ he fought good but we smashed iz city too.
I’m death to anyfing dat walks or crawls, where I go nothin’ stands in my way. We crushed da stunties on Golgotha, an’ we caught old one-eye when da speed freeks blew da humies’ big tanks ta bits. I let ‘im go ‘cause good enemies iz ‘ard to find, an Orks need enemies ta fight like they need meat ta eat an’ grog ta drink.
I iz more cunnin’ than a grot an’ more killy than a dread, da boyz dat follow me can’t be beat. On Pissenah we jumped da marine-boyz an’ our bosspoles was covered in da helmets we took from da dead ‘uns. We burned dere port an’ killed dere bosses an’ left nothin’ but ruins behind. I’m Warlord Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka an’ I speak wiv da word of da gods. We iz gonna stomp da ‘ooniverse flat an’ kill anyfing that fights back. We iz gonna do this coz’ we’re Orks an’ we was made ta fight an’ win!

Quoted wrong.
If all else fails, duck. As a defensive stratagem it is unreliable, but incredibly reassuring for a moment or two.

Still my favorite quote. Next is the one from DOW.
An open mind is like a fortress with is gates unlocked and unguarded.
