"We have been wounded sorely. Yet still we stand, with fire in our eyes and valour in our hearts. Let them think us beaten. We shall teach them otherwise. "-Pedro Kantor, Chapter Master of the Crimson Fists The grim darkness of the far future is not an obvious place to look for life advice. And yet, some of what the brutal warriors of the 41st Millennium have to say can have profound meaning for our own times. Testaments on brotherhood, or courage. Thoughts on the nature of fear, or of bravery in the face of certain defeat. This collection of some of the most powerful quotes from legendary Space Marines will fill you with all the strength and determination you'll need to face life's challenges!
