Billy Madison  - Quotes

 Principal:
Mr. Madison, the Industrial Revolution changed the face of the modern novel forever. Discuss, citing specific examples. [Billy clears his throat several times]
Billy Madison:
Uh... Okay. The Industrial Revolution to me is just like a story I know called "The Puppy Who Lost His Way." The world was changing, and the puppy was getting... bigger. [Later]
Billy Madison:
So, you see, the puppy was like industry. In that, they were both lost in the woods. And nobody, especially the little boy - "society" - knew where to find 'em. Except that the puppy was a dog. But the industry, my friends, that was a revolution. [Long pause]
Billy Madison:
Knibb High football rules! [the crowd erupts into cheers]
Principal:
Mr. Madison, what you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Billy Madison:
Okay, a simple "wrong" would've done just fine.
 

William Shakespeare  - Quotes

 The quality of mercy is not strained, it droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath. It is twice blest: it blesseth him that gives and him that takes. It becomes the throned monarch better than his crown. His scepter doth show the force of temporal power, wherein doth sit the fear and dread of kings. But mercy is above this sceptered sway, it is enthroned in the heart of kings, it is an attribute to God himself. And earth power doth then show likest God's when mercy seasons justice. Therefore Jew, though justice be thy plea, consider this: that in the course of justice none of us should see salvation. We do pray for mercy, and this same prayer doth teach us all to render the deeds of mercy. I have spoke this much to mitigate the justice of thy plea.

I'm pretty sure that's what Triphase is, it's a kind of research program and someone at Grammercy is working for them! Listen, there's a cop, called Stone, call him, he might believe me, Judith please pick up...
 

William Shakespeare  - Quotes

 The quality of mercy is not strain'd,

It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven

Upon the place beneath: it is twice blest;

It blesseth him that gives and him that takes:

'Tis mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes

The throned monarch better than his crown;

His sceptre shows the force of temporal power,

The attribute to awe and majesty,

Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings;

But mercy is above this sceptred sway;

It is enthroned in the hearts of kings,

It is an attribute to God himself;

And earthly power doth then show likest God's

When mercy seasons justice.

The Peacemaker  - Quotes

 
[a tape meant to be played after his bomb explodes]
Dusan Gavrich:
You will look at what I have done and say, Of course - why not - they are all animals. They have slaughtered each other for centuries. But the truth is, I'm not a monster. I'm a human man - I'm just like you, whether you like it or not. For years, we have tried to live together, until a war was waged on us, on all of us: a war waged by our own leaders. And who supplied the Serb cluster bombs, the Croatian tanks, the Muslim artillery shells that killed our sons and daughters? It was the governments of the West who drew the boundaries of our countries - sometimes in ink, sometimes in blood - the blood of our people. And now you dispatch your peacekeepers to write our destiny again. We can never accept this peace that leaves us with nothing but pain, pain the peacemakers must be made to feel. Their wives, their children, their houses and churches. So now you know, now you must understand. Leave us to find our own destiny. May God have mercy on us all.
 

The World Is Not Enough  - Quotes

 
[Elektra escorts Renard to a cell in Maiden's Tower where M is being held captive]
Elektra King:
[to Renard as she announces that she has captured M for him] Your present, courtesy of the late Mr. Bond.
Renard:
My executioner.
M:
Overpraise, I'm afraid. But my people will finish the job.
Elektra King:
Your people? Your people will leave you here to rot. Just like you left me- you and my father.
M:
[Getting up from a bench in the cell and walking towards the cell bars] Your father wasn't...
Elektra King:
[Interrupting M] MY FATHER WAS NOTHING! The kingdom he stole from my mother, the kingdom I will rightly take back. [Elektra walks towards the cell door and leaves. Renard closes the door behind her and walks towards M]
M:
I hope you're proud of what you did to her.
Renard:
I'm afraid it is you who deserve credit. When I took her, she was promise itself. And then you left her at the mercy of a man like me. You made that happen. For what? To get to me? She's worth fifty of me.
M:
For once, I agree with you.
Renard:
Yes. And now we both share a common fate. You will die along with everyone in the city. [Renard turns his back and walks towards a table with junk surrounding it]
Renard:
Along with the bright, starry, oil driven future of the West. [Renard reaches for an alarm clock and holds it in his hands]
Renard:
Since you sent your men to kill me, I've been watching time tick away, marching towards my own death. Now you can have the same pleasure. [Renard picks up a stool and totes them towards M's cell. He lays the alarm clock on top of the stool points at it]
Renard:
Watch these hands, M. By noon tomorrow, your time is up. And I guarantee you, I will not miss.

 Agamemnon:
I see you're not hiding behind your high walls. Valiant of you. Ill-advised, but valiant.
Hector:
You come here uninvited. Go back to your ships and go home.
Agamemnon:
We've come too far, Prince Hector.
Menelaus:
Prince? What prince? What son of a king would accept a man's hospitality, eat his food, drink his wine, embrace him in friendship, and then steal his wife in the middle of the night?
Paris:
The sun was shining when your wife left you.
Menelaus:
She's up there, watching, isn't she? Good. I want her to watch you die.
Agamemnon:
Not yet, brother. Look around you, Hector. I brought all the warriors of Greece to your shores.
Nestor:
You can still save Troy, young prince.
Agamemnon:
I have two wishes. If you grant them, no more of your people need die. First, you must give Helen back to my brother. Second, Troy must submit to my command, to fight for me whenever I call.
Hector:
You want me to look upon your army and tremble? Well I see them. I see 50,000 men brought here to fight for one man's greed.
Agamemnon:
Careful boy, my mercy has limits.
Hector:
And I've seen the limits of your mercy and I tell you now, no son of Troy will ever submit to a foreign ruler.
Agamemnon:
Then every son of Troy shall die.

Christmas on Mars  - Quotes

 Major Syrtis:
They look like two moths, hovering around that light. Two moths. That's always haunted me. I must've been ten years old. Two little moths, sitting together on the window sill. I don't know why I did it. They were just sitting there, trying to stay alive. Just trying to enjoy their existence. And I just squished them. I wish I could go back, and change it. But I squished them. They never knew some larger force in the universe could show mercy on them. I wish I would have.

 The willingness to forgive is a sign of spiritual and emotional maturity. It is one of the great virtues to which we all should aspire. Imagine a world filled with individuals willing both to apologize and to accept an apology. Is there any problem that could not be solved among people who possessed the humility and largeness of spirit and soul to do either -- or both -- when needed?
