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.

I do not intend to run around like a wet hen. There will be plenty of time, sir.
He who saves a nation violates no law.
A field of glory is never a pretty sight.
