The Ten Commandments (1956 film)

"It is not treason to want freedom."

"I do not know what power shapes my way, but my feet are set upon a road that I must follow."

"A city is made of brick, Pharaoh. The strong make many. The starving make few. The dead make none. So much for accusations."

"It would take more than a man to lead the slaves from bondage. It would take a god. And I am no god, I am but a man. A man who asks by what right any man may enslave another of a different race or creed. But if I could free these people, I would."

"There is a beauty beyond the senses, Nefretiri. Beauty like the quiet of green valleys and still waters. Beauty of the spirit that you cannot understand."

"Thus sayeth the Lord God of Israel: "Let my people go!""

"You gave me this staff to rule over scorpions and serpents, but God made it a rod to rule over kings. Hear His word, Rameses, and obey."

"Hear, O Israel! Remember this day, when the strong hand of the Lord leads you out of bondage!"

"The Lord of Hosts will do battle for us! BEHOLD HIS MIGHTY HAND!!!"

"The man best able to rule Egypt will follow me. I owe that to my fathers, not to my sons."

"[To Nefretiri] You will be mine, like my dog, or my horse, or my falcon, except that I shall love you more - and trust you less."

"[banishing Moses to the desert] I commend you to your Hebrew god who has no name. If you die, it will be by His hand, not by mine."

"This is work for a butcher, not a Pharaoh. Destroy them all. But bring Moses to me alive."

"First friend of the Pharaoh, Keeper of the Royal Seal, Prince of On, Prince of Memphis, Prince of Thebes, Beloved of the Nile god, Conqueror of Ethiopia, General of Generals, Commander of the Egyptian host...a man of mud!"

"I cursed you. Each time Rameses took me in his arms, I cursed you, not him, because I loved you."

"Does a Pharaoh harden his heart against his son? If you let the Hebrews go, who will build his cities? You told Moses to make bricks without straw. Now he tells you to make cities without bricks. Who is the slave, and who is the Pharaoh? Do you hear laughter, Rameses? Yes. The laughter of kings in Babylon, in Cannan, in Troy, as Egypt surrenders to the god of slaves."

And...because I drew you from the water, you shall be called Moses. [playfully and quietly] Moses! Moses! [giggles]"

"It would take more than a man to lead the slaves from bondage. It would take a God."
