Simon: "Maybe, but it isn't zero. And for me, that makes it the same as a hundred percent chance!"

"The dreams we left behind will open the door!"

"Our seething blood will determine what will be!"

"We'll break through time and space,"

"And defy all who would stop us to grab hold of our path!"

"Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann!"

"JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE!"

"The War. The humans, I think, knew they were doomed. Where another race would surrender to despair, the humans fought back with greater strength. They made the Minbari fight for every inch of space. In my life, I have never seen anything like it; They would weep, they would pray, they would say goodbye to their loved ones, and then throw themselves without fear or hesitation at the very face of death itself, never surrendering. No one who saw them fighting against the inevitable could help but be moved to tears by their courage. Their stubborn nobility. When they ran out of ships, they used guns, when they ran out guns they used knives and sticks and bare hands. They were magnificent. I only hope that when it is my time, I may die with half as much dignity as I saw in their eyes in the end. They did this for two years. They never ran out of courage but, in the end, they ran out of time."

"Never give up, never surrender!"

The Baroness: "He gave up!"

Storm Shadow: "He NEVER gives up."

He won't give in without a fight, and he won't give in.

"It doesn't matter how many times I get knocked down. What matters is how many times I get back up!"

"Give up? General Specific never says 'I give up!'. Uh... except as an example of what I never say!"

...whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender...

"... never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never-in nothing, great or small, large or petty — never give in except to convictions of honour, and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy."

If you're going through hell, keep going.

"Fine! Bring it on, then! I'll show you whose mind is the strongest! I will not yield an inch of my future!"

"He's like the Energizer bunny, a Rolex watch, and Jackie Chan mixed together."

"No. Not even in the face of Armageddon. Never compromise."

"I don't like to lose."

I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On with the show!

You cannot kill hate. Not hate on the scale of Alma.

Kyouko: "I thought she'd be here. She sucks at giving up after all."

Kevin: You guys give up? You've had enough pain?

Marv: NEVER!

Badasses, much like the Goonies, never say die. To that end, they never say diet, and their color recognition vocabulary is limited to just six words. They don't flinch, cry, hesitate, show fear, or act like they notice when it's raining. Even if it's raining really, really hard. Nothing bothers them, nobody stands in their way, and they refuse to yield when the situation is ten light-years beyond hopeless. No matter what the odds are, they won't accept anything less than victory at all costs.

"You may win the occasional victory against us, Vorrik, but I promise you: the Empire will always strike back."

"That man has the constitution of a vending machine!"

"A stubborn enough person can survive just about anything. Rage is a hell of an anesthetic."

Never give up without a fight.

In any weather you will see us with a grin
Risking hair and skin
If we're behind, then never mind, we'll fight and fight and win!''

"Why can't you people JUST STAY DOWN?!"

''To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go

To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far

To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause

And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star"

I'm black and blue, beat up, but still I take the blows,
'Cause all I need is blood and sweat and skin and bone!
I'll take this rage, rattle your cage, nobody said it's easy,
It's do or die, only the strong survive!
Get ready for the last stand!
Get ready, I'm your hangman!

On my planet, we never say die; we say KILL!

I have not...come this far...to die now.

"Mamoru. Have you forgotten? Victory goes...TO THOSE WITH COURAGE!"

Sam: [Both are overcome by exhaustion, on the slopes of Mount Doom] Do you remember the Shire, Mr. Frodo? It'll be spring soon. And the orchards will be in blossom. And the birds will be nesting in the hazel thicket. And they'll be sowing the summer barley in the lower fields... and eating the first of the strawberries with cream! Do you remember the taste of strawberries?

Frodo: No, Sam. I can't recall the taste of food... nor the sound of water... nor the touch of grass. I'm... naked in the dark, with nothing, no veil... between me... and the wheel of fire! I can see him... with my waking eyes!

Sam: Then let us be rid of it... once and for all! Come on, Mr. Frodo. I can't carry it for you... but I can carry you!

And so. He realizes that there will be no end to the attacks. This enemy will not stop. The enemy will never stop on his own.''

I think I'd have had to have my foot amputated before I came off this pitch.

Basitin Councilor: We were told you'd been fatally wounded!

King Adelaide: Yes, I'd been told that as well. I chose to ignore it and continue living.

Agent Rick: You never know when to quit, do you?
Lieutenant Murphy: Of course I do. Never.

The power of Medusa is fed by emotion. The emotions of a young girl who suffered the pain of Medusa for 8 years... and the emotions of a man who has come back from the depths of hell to save Kasumi. Do you honestly think your pathetic ego-trip can stop that?

The thing I treasure most in life cannot be taken away
There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice
To change myself, I'd rather die
Though they will not understand
I won't make the greatest sacrifice
You can't predict where the outcome lies
You'll never take me alive

I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down

His shin wouldn't stop bleeding and he wouldn't stop smashing it into Piotrowski. You could tell he hated it, but Rob Kaman doesn't care — he will beat you with his own open wound just to teach you both how weak you are.

Joker: You're crazy! I'm your only chance to get out of here! Let me go or we'll both die!
Batman: Whatever it takes!

Shining Knight: Do your worst, I'll not let you harm another.
General Wade "The General" Eiling: I do what I do in service to my country...(The General catches Shining Knight's sword and slams him to the ground). Save yourself a hospital stay and stand down. That magic armor won't help you.
Shining Knight: Have at thee! (Shining Knight rushes at The General, but is beaten to the ground)
The General: You're a relic. In this world power is the only thing that matters. You and those other no-name heroes, you're just people, in the great scheme of things nothing you do has the least bit of significance. (Shining Knight is punched down the street) I'll waste you and a billion like you before I let any power rival America's. It's my duty.
Shining Knight: You don't know what the word means.
The General: You can't win.
Shining Knight: I'll die as befits a knight, defending the weak. (Shining Knight attempts to stand, but collapses to his knees)
The General: Why don't you give up?
Shining Knight: Why don't you?

Test subject is abnormally stubborn. She never gives up. Ever.

I will find the right tree. I must and I will.
I will ford any stream! Climb any hill!
Go over Niagara Falls on a log!
Penetrate the impenetrable fog!
Brave the terrors of Sinister Bog!
I will find the Christmas tree we seek!
I will find the right tree if it takes us a week!
No matter what... no matter where...
Just as sure as my name... {whispers to his son for a reminder of his name} is Papa Q. Bear!

Quintet: Don't you know when to give up?
Mega Man: Don't ask me questions with answers that don't exist.

Don't you fall now —
For I'se still goin', honey,
I'se still climbin',
And life for me ain't been no crystal stair.

Watch the end through dying eyes
Now the dark is taking over
Show me where forever dies
Take the fall and run to heaven

All is lost again, but I'm not giving in

I will not bow, I will not break
I will shove the world away
I will not fall, I will not fade
I will take your breath away

The evil gods were just too strong.

The good god suffered much pain, and was cast down again and again.

It was covered in wounds, and drenched in blood, yet the good god never gave up.

Again and again it rose to its feet. Again and again it forced back its tears, clenched its teeth, and with sword in hand did battle with the evil gods.

As the evil gods looked upon the good god, they began to feel fear.

Its suffering should be unbearable.

It should be crying out in terrible pain.

So how..... How does it keep standing?

"You don't know who you're dealing with. Don't tell me what I can't do!"

You can sound the alarm

You can call out your guards

You can fence in your yard

You can hold all the cards

But I won't. Back. Down.

Oh, no I won't. Back. Down.

"I believe in one thing only, the power of human will."

Without arrogance or the smallest deviation from truth it may be said that no history now extant can furnish an instance of an army's suffering such uncommon hardships as ours has done, and bearing them with the same patience and fortitude. To see men, without clothes to cover their nakedness, without blankets to lie on, without shoes, by which their marches might be traced by blood from their feet, and almost as often without provisions as with them, marching through the frost and snow, and at Christmas taking up their winter-quarters within a day's march of the enemy, without a house or hut to cover them, till they could be built, and submitting to it without a murmur, is a proof of patience and obedience, which in my opinion can scarce be paralleled.

Pan-Galactic Alliance Representative: U-Unable to process. Are you going to oppose the entire universe!?

Valvatorez: I sure will! And I'll keep opposing you until you bastards change your decision!

I never did know when to quit.

Cap: (dodging lasers) Nope!

Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world - "No, you move."

I can't hold on much longer

But I will never let go!

But get back up on your feet, because it's the getting back up that counts. And that shows you've got heart. That's what helps keep you going. Fall down seven times... get up eight.

Just as much can be achieved through perseverance as through talent.

Oracle: Bruce! Can you hear me? Your vitals... They're dropping! It's like they're in freefall! You need to find whatever you're looking for now!

Batman: *cough* ...How long have I got?

Oracle: Oh, thank God! ...I'm not going to sugar-coat it; at this rate, I'd say minutes. Seriously, Bruce, you need to tell me what you want me to do. What do I get Robin to do? You know, if you don't...

Batman: ...I'll make it.

"Tell the wind and the fire when to stop, not me."

The more you knock me down, the more I get back up

The more you shut me up, the more I'm gonna shout

The more you take from me, the more I'm gettin' back

The more you try to break me, you're gonna see...

You won't break me!

An' then there was my junior year,
Billy had a brand new car.
It was late, the road was wet,
I guess the curve was just too sharp.
I walked away without a scratch.
They brought the helicopter in.
Billy couldn't feel his legs.
They said he'd never walk again.
But Billy said he would an' his mom and daddy prayed,
An' the day we graduated, he stood up to say:

Unsinkable ships sink.
Unbreakable walls break.
Sometimes the things you think would never happen,
Happen just like that.
Unbendable steel bends.
If the fury of the wind is unstoppable,
I've learned to never underestimate,
The impossible

Fight on my men, Sir Andrew said,

A little I'm hurt but not yet slain.

I'll just lie down and bleed awhile,

And I'll rise and fight again.

Dilbert: Any luck trying to get fired?
Wally: No... but I'll get that severance package yet.
