Inspirational Quotes from
the movie Gladiator

Gladiator to me is one of the greatest films of all time, as it gives us a view of how Rome was back in it's time, and how similar it is to today. Here are a list of some inspirational quotations from the movie:
- Maximus - At my signal...unleash Hell. (His dogs name was Hell, and would be unleashed at the beginning of the movie alongside the charging army)
- Proximo - You are good, Spaniard. But not that good. You could be magnificent.
Maximus: I am required to kill, so I kill. That is enough.
- Maximus - What we do in life, echoes in eternity.
- Maximus - A soldier has the advantage of being able to look his enemy in the eye, senator.
- Maximus - I knew a man who once said, "Death smiles at us all. All a man can do is smile back."
- Proximo - Oh, I know that you are a man of your word, General. I know that you would die for honour. You would die for Rome. You would die...for the memory of your ancestors. But I on the other hand...I'm an entertainer.
Maximus: He killed the man who set you free.
- Marcus Aurelius - When a man sees his end he wants to know there has been some purpose to his life.
- Maximus - Quintus, free my men. Senator Gracchus is to be reinstated. There was once a dream that was Rome, it shall be realized. These are the wishes of Marcus Aurelius.
- Strength and Honour
