So I was wondering, what are some good imperial guard quotes. Preferably ones very grim, showing the righteous horrors when must commit for our holy Emperor. (Prayers too. Mainly for yelling at the xenos filth).

An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and walls unmanned.

It is better to die for the Emperor than to live for yourself (that's a pretty famous quote across the Imperium of Man though)
Another one ubiquitous across the Imperium - The blood of Martyrs is the seed of the Imperium

A good Soldier obeys without question. A good Officer commands without doubt - Sergeant Lukas Bastonne quoting from the Tactica Imperium

A nice one about the Iron Guard - They may spend every off-duty minute polishing their shiny boots and marching up and down the parade ground in perfect formation, but don't let that fool you. These men are steel-eyed, cold-blooded killers and I'd as soon have a platoon of them in my force as I would a company of other troops - Gharan O'Hen

And finally my favourite - I have at my command an entire battle group of the Imperial Guard. Fifty regiments, including specialized drop troops, stealthers, mechanized formations, armoured companies, combat engineers and mobile artillery. Over half a million fighting men and thirty thousand tanks and artillery pieces are mine to command. Emperor show mercy to the fool that stands against me, for I shall not - Warmaster Demetrius
