A few memorable quotes from Sgt. Matt Baker (Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30) relating to leading his men:

"On the plane, before we jumped, I came to the conclusion that I would have to swallow my fear, take charge and lead these men. But it seems that fate has a dark sense of humor, I'm a man with hell standing between me and my men... No matter, not even hell will stop me." -Sgt Matt Baker

"I never asked to be squad leader, but I had no choice. Now I've got thirteen soldiers under my command. Thirteen men depending on me to make the right decisions and not get them killed. Thirteen families relying on me to bring their husbands and sons home. Thirteen. Thirteen is not a lucky number." -Sgt Matt Baker

i would count this as a quote although it was taken from a song, but it has meaning and its not the whole song, just a few lines...
You turn your face, you turn your back
You say, "That can't be true!"
You stay safe lost in your prefab world
Cause you're sure it won't happen to you
You're sure it won't happen to you
Just wait till it happens to you!
its by anti-flag, its about the people in america who dont realize or refuse to notice what is going on in the country...

One quote that's been on my mind, lately, came from the Brasilian archbishop, Helda Camara:

"When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a Communist.”

Aragorn: Eowyn...
Eowyn: We need you here.
Aragorn: Why have you come?
Eowyn: Do you not know?
Aragorn: It is but a shadow and a thought that you love. I cannot give you what you seek.

Powerful liner that.

Reading through some of the newer topics I had this urge to post my own opinions. I almost did it and look at the topics now, without posting a thing, my opinions are there.

Funny dialogue from Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30:

Pfc. Benjamin "Legs" Leggett: You know, I hate Superman. The fact that he wears glasses that are too big for him makes him look like a dork. To me, that is totally uncool.

Pvt. David Muzza: His eyes, man. His eyes.

Sgt. Greg "Mac" Hassay: Shut up, you two! You've got enough <expletive> to fill up any swimming pool around here. Baker, I need you to head up this road and secure the farmhouse ahead while Leggett and I will go and find the others. And that includes you as well, Wonder Boy (referring to Pvt. Muzza).

Can't remember the exact words but that's the best that I know off.

That quote's always on my mind when I'm playing Civ 4; I kept meaning to use it, too.

Taken from a conversation in Call of Duty 2, British campaign:

Conversation when the 7th Armoured is advancing into a town:

Soldier 1: Have you heard about Harry?
Soldier 2: No. What about him?
Soldier 1: He's been sent back home. The lucky bastard.
Pvt. MacGregor: That lucky bastard just lost his leg. That's why he was sent home. Now, can we just concentrate on the mission?

Another quote from Sgt. Matt Baker of Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30:

"You really get to know a man if you get to watch him die, that moment right before he realises its over, that moment his face reflects every decision he's ever made, what kind of life he led... and if he regrets it." -Sgt. Matt Baker

P.S. Cool, 1500 posts.

@Maharlika: your quote reminded me of this one my friend said to me a while ago...

Some day you are going to die, stop avoiding death and start living life.
