Space Marine Quotes – Warhammer 40K – Part 4 of 10

The Unyielding Resolve of the Space Marines

In a universe torn apart by conflict and destruction, the Space Marines stand as unyielding guardians of humanity. Their unwavering resolve is forged in the fire of battle, tempered by their unshakeable loyalty to the Emperor.

A Bond of Duty and Honor

“We cannot know what madness has overcome Lorgar, we do not know the fate of our brothers and our primarch. But what we do know is duty. Our duty is to hold this approach to the city, to deny it to the enemy.” These words, spoken by Roboute Guilliman, echo through the annals of Space Marine history, a testament to the unbreakable bond of duty and honor that unites them.

The Power of Courage and Conviction

Bravery is stronger than adamantium, for it is the stuff of the soul-forges, the very essence of the Space Marines’ being. With courage and conviction, they charge into the fray, undaunted by the horrors of war. “Adamantium walls cannot keep us out! We have the courage of the Emperor! And in the Emperor’s name… ATTACK!!”

Leadership and Governance

Each Space Marine is a leader, a ruler, the master of their world. Engineered to excel at warfare, they are also designed to govern and cultivate culture. As Guilliman teaches, “Space Marines excel at warfare because they were designed to excel at everything.”

The Great Irony of the Legiones Astartes

It is a cruel fate that the Legiones Astartes, engineered to kill to achieve a victory of peace, can never truly be part of that peace. This great irony haunts the Space Marines, a constant reminder of their duty to protect humanity, no matter the cost.

Unwavering Resolve in the Face of Danger

“Never wish for danger. Danger needs no help.” These words of caution serve as a reminder that the Space Marines must always be prepared to face the unknown, their resolve unwavering in the face of danger.

The Importance of Information

Information is victory, and the Space Marines know that every detail, no matter how minor, is crucial to their success. As one sergeant notes, “One cannot and should not dismiss any data until one is in a position to evaluate its significance, and that only comes with hindsight.”

A Solemn Pledge

In the heat of battle, Guilliman implores his brother, Lorgar, to cease fire and stand down, offering a solemn pledge to deal with each other frankly and fairly. But when that offer is rejected, Guilliman’s resolve turns to steel, and he vows to find and defeat his foe.

The Unyielding Spirit of the Space Marines

What does not kill the Space Marines only serves to strengthen their resolve. As one of their number declares, “What does not kill me… is not trying hard enough.” This unyielding spirit is the hallmark of the Space Marines, a testament to their unwavering commitment to protect humanity, no matter the cost.
