The List is courtesy of Lord Zentei.

Some Imperial proverbs and assorted one-liners. Pick a cool one:

* To serve Him is to worship Him.
* Serve the Emperor today, tomorrow you may be dead.
* 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 commemmorated; failure merely remembered.
* Only the akward question; only the foolish ask twice.
* Death is the servant of the righteous.
* Faith is your shield.
* 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.
It's not that I'm unforgiving, it's that most of the people who wrong me are unrepentant assholes.

There, that's a good one.

"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

That just defines badassery in so many ways. :grin:

  • 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)
Off the top of my head. And now a random quote:

"Who told you to die?! Keep fighting!"

Thought for the Day: A shallow mind is easily filled with faith.
