Rodrigo Santoro

Xerxes: "There will be no glory in your sacrifice. I will erase even the memory of Sparta from the histories! Every piece of Greek parchment shall be burned. Every Greek historian, and every scribe shall have their eyes pulled out, and their tongues cut from their mouths. Why, uttering the very name of Sparta, or Leonidas, will be punishable by death! The world will never know you existed at all!"
King Leonidas: "The world will know that free men stood against a tyrant, that few stood against many, and before this battle was over, even a god-king can bleed."

Xerxes: "It isn't wise to stand against me, Leonidas. Imagine what horrible fate awaits my enemies when I would gladly kill any of my own men for victory."
King Leonidas: "And I would die for any one of mine."

"Unlike the cruel Leonidas, who demanded that you stand, I require only that you kneel."

"For glory's sake, war!"

"Nothing will stop the march of my empire!"

Jesus: "Love your enemies, God is love. He has a plan for you."
Ben-Hur: "If he's already decided my path how am I better off than a slave?"
Jesus: "Why don't you ask God?"

"My life, I give it of my own free will."

Nicky: "I wish you the best of luck."
Garriga: "With friends like you, who needs luck?"
