Mine would have to be

In the Emperor I see only hollow missives, written by a weak man that seeks control over all that he does not understand - Inqusitor Valeria
I think its true do you?

Walk softly and carry a big gun - Blood Raven
Do you carry a big gun?

Not a true handcannon, but I do carry a Smith & Wessom M&P45

Favourite line for me would have to be
"I will throw him out the window and I will not open it first"-Inquisitor Eisenhorn

KILL! MAIM! BURN!

Waaagh!

No wonder da 'umies fought so gud, dey'z were werin' black! Every'un knuwz the 'ardest boyz wear black!

I have a lot, and I've adapted some of them for use in an MMO where one of the cities characters can reside in has a nice touch of WH40k feel, being ruled over by a bloodthirsty, immortal/undead tyrant...

"My armor is contempt, my sword is hatred, my shield is disgust. In the Emperor's name let none survive!"

"Even the man who has nothing may still give his life for the Emperor."

"Serve the Emperor today, for tomorrow you may be dead."

"The wise man learns from the deaths of others."

And getting often quoted by the Inquisitor NPC in my DH game:

"Many are called.... most are found wanting."

"If a man dedicates his entire life to good deeds, he will die unthanked and unremembered. If he spends his life exercising his genius to destruction, his name will echo throughout the galaxy for a thousand generations. Infamy is always preferable from Ignominy."

-Fabius Bile

Librarian : You think you you are brave?
Space Marine Scout : Yes
Librarian : The one who knows everything but fears nothing may be called brave

Spess Mehrens, attack! For the Emprah! - Blood Ravens.

An open mind is like a castle with it's gates unbarred and unguarded. - Librarian

My utter favorite is: "Ask not the Eldar a question, for they will give you three answers, all of which are true and terrifying to know" -Inquisitor Czevak

"All that the empror require of us is that we stand our ground and we die fighting, and thats what we do best, we die standing" -some imperial general

"innocence is only a degree of guilt" -some inquisitor

OHH i have a favorite one that came from an inquisitor unfortunately I keep forgetting how it goes exactly...can somebody help me?

lets see it has to do with travelling abroad how seing the galaxy helps you want to keep your mind closed or something like that. Can somebody help me find it and quote it please

Eldrad Ulthran, bit long, but so good:

"Since the time of The Fall, our race has been haunted by what we, in our reckless pursuit of hedonistic indulgence, gave birth to. Though our dreams once overturned worlds and quenched suns, we are now but fitful shadows clinging to the edge of existence. All the stars in the sky cannot blot out the hateful glare of the Red Moon's Eye. The birthing place of The Great Enemy pulses with all the malice of a daemon that is dreaming, casting its shadow over all we have ever done and all we ever shall. Every twisted strand of Fate and casting of the Runes leads me to this time, to this place, and it is clear that the final battle awaits me at the ancient Crone Worlds. A conflict the likes of which has not been seen since the Mon-keigh warred amongst themselves, and their corpse of a seer fell to his traitorous son, is coming and all my steps lead towards it, no matter that I walk other paths. I see the stars stained red with the blood of the Mon-Keigh and, though their wars do not concern me and I would gladly let them destroy one another, I know that to avoid this fight is to condemn my race to inevitable doom. And though all I see is darkness, I know that I will not flinch from my destiny."

"Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment."

“Your foe is well equipped, well-trained, and battle-hardened. He believes his gods are on his side. Let him believe what he will. We have the tanks on ours.”- Colonel Joachim Pfeiff

"What I cannot crush with words I will crush with the tanks of the Imperial Guard!"- Lord Commander Solar Macharius

"Back home, I once fancied me a pair of Catachan Devil boots. Killed me half a dozen of the great ugly critters but never found a single one that wore any!"-Gunnery Sergeant "Stonetooth" Harker

"I'd check my instruments if I were you. No-one in his right mind would lay a minefield in a place like..."-Last words of Captain Forgus Merd

"We've run into scorpions the size of battle tanks, three men died from Eyerot last week. I've sweat enough to fill a lake, my boots got sucked into a sink-swamp and the trees are so thick in places, you can't squeeze between them. Emperor help me, I love this place! It's just like home!"-Captain Rock of the Catachan III 'Green Devils'

"A moment of Laxity spawns a lifetime of heresy. Never forgive, never forget"-Dark Angels

If you have nothing to hide, you still have something to fear

Another flawless victory, almost makes someone wish for a loss, almost

Commissar I would like to see this city built up again, I would like to see towers and spires of gleaming white, I would like to see our man on parade routes not tours of Duty! I WOULD LIKE TO SEE EVERY CITY ON THIS PLANET, EVERY COLONY ON THIS BESOTTED, MISERABLE SYSTEM TURNED TO THE SERVICE AND INDUSTRY OF THE IMPERIUM IN THE EMPEROR'S NAME!

Vance Stubb from DoW SS.

CREEEEEEEEEEEEEED

"An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unlocked and unguarded" the Space Marine librarian in Dawn of War. (can't remember the actual quote, been a while since I played as SM)
It's the sinister way he says it as well.
Also "I will whip the first of you who retreats!" by the commissar. Sums up the Imperium.

Shoot the choppy stuff! Chop the shooty stuff!

Is it this one by any chance?
Contact with alien races always renews one's faith in humanity. It is my belief that foreign travel narrows the mind wonderfully.
From Helem Boesch

As a defensive manouvre ducking is unreliable but it's very reassuring for a moment or two.
Bit of a misquote but i like it...

Something along the lines of "Grand times were had over a bottle of amasec." in one of the Ciaphas Cain books

I'm pretty sure he didn't say that...

Iranna.

Victory does not always rest with the big guns, but if we rest in front of them we are surely lost.

"My Faith is my Shield, my Fury is my Sword!!!"

"I am the Hammer, the right hand of my Emperor. I am the instrument of his will, the gauntlet above his fist, the top of his spear, the edge of his sword."

"Any Cadian who didn't learn to operate his own Lasgun by age of 10 was born on the wrong planet."

"Courage and Honor, Zeal and Fury, Duty and Sacrifice."

and from my favorite guys in whole 40k:

"Kasrkin squad ready for war!"

Seconded.

"We have arrived, and it is now that we fulfill our charge. In fealty to the God-Emperor (our Undying Lord), and by the grace of the Golden Throne, I declare exterminatus upon the Imperial world of Typhon Primaris. I hereby sign the Death Warrant of an entire world, and consign a million souls to oblivion. May Imperial justice account in all balance. The Emperor protects." - Ordo Malleus Inquisitor commanding the Exterminatus Fleet during Dawn of War II: Retribution

"We have rebuilt, and once more are great. We have forged a Chapter not warped in enigma, but one the Emperor can look upon with pride. This has been dark work, Diomedes. Kyras left much corrupted, and cleansing had to be both thorough, and merciless. But now, we are pure, and noble. It has been a necessary act though. Our Chapter lives, free of darkness and corruption at long last. I know that I cannot serve the Chapter in the same manner as before. But you, Gabriel, Chapter Master is fitting. None shall find you wanting..." - Chapter Master Gabriel Angelos and Captain Apollo Diomedes, Blood Ravens Chapter

Being serious now it's pretty much anything said by a member of the Inquisition.
