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."
It is best to be a pessimist. You are usually right and, when you're wrong, you're pleasantly surprised.

"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."

"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."

"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

I should have left him there. He had served his purpose. He owed me nothing - yet he gave himself to me willingly. Why? I know not. He is nothing more than a pathetic human. An inferior race. A mon-keigh. But still I broke off my wings so that I might carry him easier. I took him from that place, into the snowstorm where our tracks will not be found. He is heavy. And he is dying. And he is slowing me down. But I will save him. Why? I know not. He is still warm. I can feel his blood ebbing across me. For every beat of his heart, another, slight spill of heat. The heat blows away on the winter wind. His blood is still warm. But fading. And I have spilled scarlet myself. The snow laps greedily at our footsteps and our lifeblood, covering them without a trace as we fade away.
