* The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Imperium.
* Faith without deeds is worthless.
* No man died in His service that died in vain.
* The wise man learns from the deaths of others.

* Success is measured in blood; yours or your enemy's.
* Know the mutant, kill the mutant.
* Victory needs no explanation, defeat allows none.
* All souls cry out for salvation.
* It is better to die for the Emperor than to live for yourself.
* Without Him there is nothing.
* Only the insane have strength enough to prosper. Only those who prosper may truly judge what is sane.
* Hatered is the Emperor's greatest gift to Humanity.
* Mercy is a signof weakness.
* Only in death does duty end.
* Curse now the death in vain.
* Cleanse, purge, kill!
* A dagger in the dark is worth a thousand swords at dawn.
* Through the destruction of our enemies we earn our salvation.
* Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
* Thought begets heresy; heresy begets retribution.
* A mind without purpose will wander in dark places.
* Pain is an illusion of the senses, despair is an illusion of the mind.
* An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded.
* Cast out the mutant, the traitor, the heretic. For every enemy without there are a hundred within.
* No army is big enough to conquer the Galaxy. But faith alone can overturn the Universe.
* The strength of the Emperor is Humanity and the strength of Humanity is the Emperor.
* Listen not to the alien, look not upon the alien, speak not unto the alien.
* The ends always justify the means.
* The Mutant bears his heresy on the outside, the Traitor hides it in his soul.
* Tremble foes of Man, for the might of the Adeptus Astares never tires in the Emperor's work.
* A good soldier obeys without question. A good officer commands without doubt.
* For every battle honour, a thousand heroes die alone, unsung and unremembered.
* The Space Marines fear no evil for we are Fear incarnate.
* There is no peace among the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter and the laughter of thirsting gods.
* Tolerance is a sign of weakness.
* The Emperor knows, the Emperor is watching.
* Burn the Heretic! Kill the Mutant! Purge the Unclean!
* Do not fear to use the biggest gun.
* Light your way in the darkness with the light of burning heretics.
* There is no arguing with the barrel of a gun.

"I have at my command an entire battle group of the Imperial Guard. Fifty regiments, including specialised drop troops, stealthers, mechanised 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, at the outset of the Salonika Crusade, 733.M38

- A true servant never yields to doubt.
- Carry the Emperor's Will as your torch; with it destroy the shadows.
- There is only the Emperor and He is our shield and protector.
- If brute force isn't working, you're not using enough.
- If you're the last man standing, you weren't trying hard enough. (one of my personal favorites)
"Who told you to die?! Keep fighting!"
