On submission:
Xerxes: Your Athenian rivals will kneel at your feet... if you but kneel at mine. Spartan King Leonidas: That is quite an offer. I'd be crazy to refuse it. But this kneeling business... I'm afraid killing all those slaves of yours has left me with a nasty cramp in my leg.
On Purpose:
Persian Emissary: This is madness!
Spartan King Leonidas: Madness? This is Sparta!
On Attitude:
Persian Officer: Fools! Our arrows will blot out the sun.
Stelios: Then we will fight in the shade!
On Toughness in the face of adversity:
[Dilios is putting a patch over his eye]
Spartan King Leonidas: Dilios, I trust that "scratch" hasn't made you useless.
Dilios: Hardly, my lord, it's just an eye. The gods saw fit to grace me with a spare.
