Top rated lines from this movie

Beware the Greeks bearing gifts.
My sons, the fool is the man who makes a quarrel of a debate.
Then tell me who pays for the Greek blood shed on this plain? -Trojan blood has paid in full. -Trojan blood is not valid currency in Sparta, nor does it pay for the launching of a thousand ships.

The goddess of beauty, Aphrodite, come down to Earth in mortal form. She will bring the disaster I have prophesied. Her name will be written in letters of fire. Helen. Helen of Troy.
