* Victory needs no explanation, defeat allows none.

* Only the insane have strength enough to prosper. Only those who prosper may truly judge what is sane.

"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.
