At my signal, unleash hell.
Maximus
I knew a man who once said, 'Death smiles at us all. All a man can do is smile back.'
Maximus
In this life or the next, I will have my vengeance.
Maximus
It's the frost, it sometimes makes the blade stick.
Maximus
My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.
Maximus
Strength and honor.
Maximus
What we do in life echoes in eternity.
Maximus
You ask me what I want. I too want to stand up to the emporer as you did.
Maximus
