A king may move a man. A father may claim a son. But remember that even when those who move you be kings or men of power…your soul is in your keeping alone. When you stand before God you cannot say But I was told by others to do thus or that virtue was not convienent at that time. This will not suffice. Remember that.
a man is not a man if he doesn’t make the world a better place
Balian: Be without fear, in the face of your enemies, be brave and upright that God may love me, speak the truth, even if it leads to your death, safeguard the helpless, that is your oath! [smack!] And that is so you remember it. Rise a knight! RISE A KNIGHT!!
Do you really think that Knighting these men will make them better fighers?! Balian: Yes
Give me a war
God wills it.
I am Jerusalem
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. Holiness is in right action. And courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves. And goodness, what God desires, is here (head) and here (heart). And what you decide to do everyday, you will be a good man, or not.
if god did not love you, how could you do so many wonderful things
If this is the Kingdom of Heaven, then let god to do what he wants with it
It has fallen to us to defend Jerusalem, and we have made our preparations as well as they can be made. None of us took this city from Muslims. No Muslims of the great army now coming against us was born when this city was lost. We fight over an offense we did not give, against those who were not alive to be offended. What is Jerusalem? Your holy places lie over the Jewish temple that the Romans pulled down. The Muslim places of worship lie over yours. Which is more holy? The Wall? The Mosque? The Sepulchre? Who has claim? No one has claim. All have claim. We defend this city, not to protect these stones, but the people living within these walls.
Someday you will wish that you did little evil to do the greater good.
The blade isn’t the only part of the sword
What becomes of us?
Balian: The world decides…the world always decides
Your quality will be known among your enemies, before ever you meet them, my friend.
