Movie quotes

  • (..) He giveth and He taketh away. Do you yield? I'd rather roast in hell. I think the Friar's taken us far enough. Thank you, Lord, for teaching me humility. Are these not the meek of the earth? We need an honest man to minister them. What say you? The Lord reveals Himself in mysterious ways. (..)
