Movie: Gladiator (Gladiator) (2000)

We mortals are but shadows and dust. Now we are free. I'll see you again. But not now. Not now.

You have a great name. Before killing you, he must kill your name.

- War of the father against the barbarians, as he admitted to nothing lead. But the people loved him.
- People love to win.
Why? They do not see the battles. And that they were in Germany?
It is important the greatness of Rome.

- Sorry, you weren't born a man - what would you make a Caesar. You would have been strong. But if you were fair?
- I would be what You would have raised me.

- Out there somewhere far away my country, my home. My wife prepares a meal. My daughters are carrying water up from the river. Will I see them again? There seems to be no.
- And you believe that you will meet them in another world?
- It is possible. But, I will die soon. And they will live for many more years. I'll have to wait for them.
- Wait, right?
- Of course.
- I know... and my wife... and my son... waiting for me.
And you will meet. But not now. Not now. Before...
Yes. Not now.

- You have a son. So tell me about your house.
- My house is in the hills above Trujillo. He is very modest. The stones basking in the sun... Day the smell of the herbs is intoxicating... and night Jasmine. Through the gate is seen the poplar tree Large Apple, pear. And the land, mark, black... black like my wife's hair. Near the house sports wild burros. They tease my son, and he likes a lot.

My ancestors, I ask for your advice... the Blessed Mother, tell what the future has in store for me gods. Blessed father, protect my wife and my son smashing his sword. Whisper to them I live only to hold them again. My ancestors, I honor you... and try to live with the dignity that you taught me.

See this map? It is a world created by me. 25 years, I have conquered, spilt blood, expanded the Empire. Since I became Caesar I have known only four years without war. Only four years of peace. And for what? I brought the sword, nothing more.

Once Rome was a sacred dream. About it spoke in a whisper. We were afraid that the dream might disappear - she was so fragile.

If you find yourself alone amidst flowering meadows, burnt by the sun, do not be afraid. For you are in Elysium and you're dead!

Marcus Aurelius is dead, Maximus. And we mortals are only shadows and dust.

I - Proximo. In these few days, until the end of your worthless life, I'll be closer those bitches of mothers who gave birth to you into the light. I gave you good money, not for fun and fellowship. I paid to cash in on your death And as your mother was when your early life, I shall at its end. And when you die - and die you fail your soul will go to another world to the sound of... [applauds] Gladiators, I salute you!

- You wrote to me once... the four chief virtues. Wisdom, justice, fortitude and temperance.
I have read and understood that I don't have any of them. But I have other virtues, father. Ambition. Which is a virtue when it drives us to be the first. Resourcefulness. Courage. Perhaps not on the battlefield, but... there are many forms of courage. Dedication... to my family... and you. But my virtues were on your list. Thought you didn't want me to be your son. I sought the help of the gods... wanting to do something nice for you, so you can be proud of me. One kind word, one warm hug... when you hugged me to her breast, and my soul rose the sun. All I wished for... it to be worthy of you, Caesar.
- Your fault as a son... this is my failure as a father. Come to me.
The father. I would have destroyed the whole world... for your love!

The person in the end wants to know that his life had meaning.
