Never give up, even though its not your time.

Last week i went to watch the movie "300". I was so impressed by the way it was presented. Good graphics matching the story and specially in a monochrome frame. But more than those, i was so attracted by the dialogues. Let me quote some of them to which i was attracted most.

1. Be committed to your job

Leonidas: You, what is your profession?

Arcadian Soldier: I'm a potter, sir.

Leonidas: And you, Arcadian, what is your profession?

Arcadian Soldier: I'm a sculptor.

Leonidas: And you?

Arcadian Soldier: I'm a blacksmith.

Leonidas: [Turning towards the Spartans] Spartans! What is your profession?

Spartans: Harooh! Harooh! Harooh!

Leonidas: See old friend, I brought more soldiers than you did.

2. Never give up, even though its not your time.

Persian Emissary: The thousand nations of the Persian Empire descend upon you! Our arrows will blot out the sun!

Stelios: [grins] Then we will fight in the shade.

3. A good leader always stands by his followers

Xerxes: Imagine what horrible fate awaits my enemies when I would gladly kill any of my own men for victory.

Leonidas: And I would die for any one of mine.

These conversations gives a clear cut idea of Spartans. The way they ever lived. Even though they lost the war, but they were never ready to give up. Till the last breath, they fought like real men.
