Oliver Cromwell: Put your faith in God, and keep your powder dry.
Oliver Cromwell: The king is not England, and England is not the king!
Oliver Cromwell: Does the king think that God can be bought with gold, trinkets and gilded rubbish?!
Oliver Cromwell: My Lord! Why in Christ's name did you sound the retreat?
Oliver Cromwell: When men run out of words, they reach for their swords. Let's hope we can keep them talking.
Oliver Cromwell: You are scum, sir, and truly unelected scum at that! This is no parliament. I shall put an end to your sitting. I hereby declare this parliament dissolved! Colonel Harrison!
Harrison: Yes, sir! Men, forward!
Oliver Cromwell: Remove them!
Oliver Cromwell: John, how many times did we sit together in parliament in the old days, and how many resolutions did we pass, and how many times did the King overrule us? Oh, The King can have his war with Scotland. We will be in America.
Dumbledore: It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to your enemies, but a great deal more to stand up to your friends.
Albus Dumbledore: Ah, Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans. I was most unfortunate in my youth to come across a vomit flavoured one. I must say since then I have lost my liking for them. But I think... I might be safe... with a nice toffee. [He has a bean.] Alas. Earwax.
Dumbledore: Also, our caretaker, Mr. Filch, has asked me to remind you that the third-floor corridor on the right-hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a most painful death.
Minerva McGonagall: Do you think it is wise to trust Hagrid with something as important as this?
Albus Dumbledore: Ah, Professor, I would trust Hagrid with my life.
Dumbledore: Only a person who wanted to find the Stone - find it, but not use it - would be able to get it. That is one of my more brilliant ideas. And between you and me, that is saying something.
Lt. Cmdr. Anthony Fallon: I blew a great big hole in your ship, Captain. I'd better give it back to you.
Lt. Cmdr. Anthony Fallon: May you inherit the earth.
Charlie Braddock: Yeah, six feet of it, I think.
Lt. Cmdr. Anthony Fallon: Fallon is the champion.
Captain Alex Brunel: You have to go back to the bombs.
Lt. Cmdr. Anthony Fallon: Persuade me.
Captain Alex Brunel: Twelve hundred lives.
Lt. Cmdr. Anthony Fallon: Not many lives that... I mean, not in the great scheme of things. Remember what the goldfish said?"There must be a god! I mean, who changes the water? " Specks in the universe, Captain! Launch your lifeboats.
John Morgan: It just occurred to me... I've traveled halfway around the world, at great expense, simply to kill a different kind of bird.
Detective James McParlan: Dougherty, then? You've time enough for that. He's not hanged yet.
Jack Kehoe: You're a cool one.
Detective James McParlan: That's the difference between us, Jack.
Jack Kehoe: I have no coolness in me at all.
Jack Kehoe: I'm thinking... you'd better be what we think you are.
Detective James McParlan: I'm what you think.
Jack Kehoe: 'Cause if you're not... there's no hole deep enough to hide this time.
Miss Mary Raines: You heard what the Father said. There's no future for what you joined except hell.
