What we do in life.. Echoes in Eternity

You know, dirt cleans off a lot easier than blood

Ultimately, we're all dead men, sadly we cannot choose how, but we can decide how we meet that end in order that we are remembered as men.

We mortals are but shadows and dust.

I knew a man who once said death smiles at us all. All a man can do is smile back

I am required to kill, so I kill. That is enough.

My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius: commander of the armies of the North, general of the Felix legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife, and I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.

The time for honoring yourself will soon be at an end

Strength and Honor

Some of my other favorite Gladiator quotes.
