“You didn’t get the quest you wanted, you got the one you could do.”

“Don't ever let someone tell you, you can't do something. Not even me. You got a dream, you got to protect it. People can’t do something themselves, they want to tell you you can’t do it. You want something, go get it. Period.”

“Sometimes, you didn’t get what you wanted. But if you had all you needed? Life was good.”

“You never got what you wanted; you just learned to get by without it.”

“When you get everything you wanted, I think maybe you do have to be a little grateful for the people who got you there… whether or not they thought they were doing you any favors at the time.”

“Do you honestly want credit because you didn’t do anything to a helpless female?”
“No! Yes. No, damn it—”

“Do you want to make a point or do you want to make a change? do you want to get something off your chest, or do you want to get something done?”

“You want a war? You better believe you got one!”

“You owned the world when you were a young man, felt it like it was fashioned to fit your hands. You could do anything with it you wanted to. But the world kept changing, and sooner or later there came a day when it didn’t feel like you were the one the world was interested in any more.”

“Politics is a lot like sex - if you want something, you have to ask for it, if they’re not doing it right you’ve got to speak up and show them and if you still don’t get what you want, then there is nothing wrong with doing it yourself.”
