"[dictating his report In view of my failure — correction, comparative failure — I feel that I have no alternative but to offer you, sir, my resignation, in the sincere hope that you will not accept it. Full stop."

"I really don't want to put any of you in jeopardy."

"Observant, that's what I am."

"Honestly, Tom, you've done it again. Made us come here to listen to a lot of nonsense. What do you think you are some kind of philosopher?"

"To call the mood of the audience at Tom’s morale lecture in the mission house the next day "enthusiastic" would have been going too far — but they had come. And Tom had launched himself fearlessly into his endeavor to illustrate the human problem: to receive. The subject was obvious, but quite dreadfully ill-considered by this young man. To compensate for his lack of preparation Tom made diligent use of his technique of lashing out somewhat haphazardly in all directions. ."

"I think you have plenty to offer Dogville."

"[To Balian as he departs Jerusalem] If God does not love you, how could you have done all the things you have done?"

"Your quality will be known among your enemies before ever you meet them."

"[On the practice of posthumously mutilating suicide victims] The law can go too far... I ask myself, would Jesus do it thusly? There is so much done in Christendom of which Christ would be incapable."

"[To Balian] May God be with you, he's no longer with me."

"[To Balian] You're your father's son. He was my friend. I'm yours."

"[To Guy] If the war's to be now or later, I would have it now."

"[After raiding a peaceful caravan] I am what I am. Someone has to be."

"You never fight back. You always turn the other cheek. I think that you conceive yourself without sin. That is a sin!"

"But this isn't adultery. It's washing. But if it were adultery... which it isn't... the Commandments are not for people like us. They are for the others."

"[To Tiberias] How long before he wears a mask? Will you have one made for him? How did my boy deserve it?"

"Jerusalem is dead Tiberias. No kingdom is worth my son alive in hell. I shall go to hell instead."

"There'll be a day when you will wish you had done a little evil to do a greater good."

"[To Sibylla] My beautiful sister. So beautiful. I'm sorry if I've caused you any pain. Remember me as I was."

"On your knees... lower. I am... Jerusalem. And you, Reynald, will give me the kiss of peace. [Takes off glove]"

"Come. Sit. Do you play? The whole world is in chess. Any move can be the death of you. Do anything except remain where you started and you can't be sure of your end."

"The Saracens say that this disease is God's vengeance against the vanity of our kingdom. As wretched as I am, these Arabs believe that the chastisement that awaits me in hell is far more severe and lasting. If that's true, I call it unfair."

"Come forward. I am glad to meet Godfrey's son. He was one of my greatest teachers. He was there when, playing with the other boys, my arm was cut. And it was he, not my father's physicians, who noticed that I felt no pain. He wept when he gave my father the news, that I am a leper."

"When I was sixteen I won a great victory. I felt in that moment that I should live to be one hundred, now I know I shall not see thirty. None of us know our end really, or what hand will guide us there. A King may move a man, a father may claim a son. That man can also move himself. And only then does that man truly begin his own game. Remember that howsoever you are played, or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone. Even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power. When you stand before God, you cannot say "but I was told by others to do thus" or that "virtue was not convenient at the time." This will not suffice. Remember that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCC8tjrXYE8&ab_channel=GiangNguyen Balian and King Baldwin IV"

"I put no stock in religion. By the word religion I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the will of God. I've seen too much religion in the eyes of too many murderers. Holiness is in right action, and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves. And goodness - what God desires - is here [points to Balian's head] and here [points to Balian's heart] and by what you decide to do every day you will be a good man...or not."

"You sail now for Jerusalem as your father wished. I'll follow within the week. Now the voyage is perilous. If God has purpose for you there, he'll keep you safe in his hands. [pauses] If not, God bless."

"If the ribs are broken, the marrow will enter the blood and you will develop fever and die or a cyst will form and you will live. You're in the hands of God."

"[To Sybilla, after surrendering Jerusalem] Your brother's kingdom is here - (points to the mind) - and here - (points to the heart) - and that kingdom can never be surrendered."

"If this is the Kingdom of Heaven, let God do with it as he will."
