Cromwell (film)

"Every man who wages war believes God is on his side. I'll warrant God should often wonder who is on his."

"O Lord, thou knowest how busy I must be this day. If I forget thee, do not thou forget me."

"Was not Gideon outnumbered by the Amalekites? It is not numbers that count, but speed and surprise. Let no man move, except upon the word of his commander! Though we be outnumbered, we shall win this battle! I promise you! So now put your faith in God and keep your powder dry."

"In the name of God! What are we all? Men? Cowering and quivering like downtrodden serfs. The king is not England, and England is not the king! It is not the survival of the king that is at issue here. It is the survival of England. And this king, by his dishonesties, by his treasons, and by his secret treaties with foreign powers, has shown himself to be ill-fitted to govern this great nation!"

"Gentlemen, an immovable Parliament is more obnoxious than an immovable king! You are drunkards, tricksters, villains, whoremasters, godless, self-seeking, ambitious tricksters. You are no more capable of conducting the affairs of this nation than you are of running a brothel!"

"I go now from a corruptible to an incorruptible crown."
