[to Judah] The Star of David, will shine out for your people and my people together and blind the eyes of Rome.

[to Judah] You have the spirit to fight back but the good sense to control it. Your eyes are full of hate, Forty-One. That's good. Hate keeps a man alive. It gives him strength.

[to Messala] May God grant me vengeance. I pray that you live till I return.

Be wise, Judah. It's a Roman world. If you want to live in it, you must become part of it...I tell you, Judah, it's no accident that one small village on the Tiber was chosen to rule the world...It wasn't just our legions...No, it was fate that chose us to civilize the world - and we have. Our roads and our ships connect every corner of the earth, Roman law, architecture, literature are the glory of the human race.

Find them, Messala. Restore them to me and I'll forget what I vowed with every stroke of that oar you chained me to.

It's an insane world, but in it there's one sanity, the loyalty of old friends. Judah, we must believe in one another.

One wife? One God, that I can understand - but one wife! That is not civilized. It is not generous.

Rome is an affront to God. Rome is strangling my people and my country and the whole earth, but not forever. I tell you, the day Rome falls, there will be a shout of freedom such as the world has never heard before.

You may conquer the land, you may slaughter the people. That is not the end. We will rise again.
