Top rated lines from this movie

Oh, the throne? Do you know what the throne is? The throne is an over-decorated piece of furniture. It's what's behind the throne that counts. My brains, my ambitions, my desires, my hope, my imagination, and above all, my will.
France will follow me to the stars, if I give her another victory.
He who saves a nation violates no law.
Expecting to die tomorrow? I don't like those thoughts. Having them sometimes makes them come true.
A field of glory is never a pretty sight.
