Best inspirational speeches/quotes in the Marvel U.

This job I have now -- this job I fell into, really -- there's shades of gray to all of it. And what you said before might even be true -- in a different time, I might be the one fighting to end something like this. But if I ever start really questioning myself, and whether or not I'm fit to do this, I remember -- I, and the people I stand with, good and bad, faults and all -- no matter how right we believed we were... We'd never let people die just to prove our damn point. Now I don't know if that's enough for you, or for the rest of the world, but for the time being -- It'll have to do. - Steve Rogers

"Do you know what is the greatest gift anyone can receive in his lifetime? The greatest gift we can receive is to have the chance, just once in our lives, to make a difference. Do you understand how many times you made a difference? Enough for a hundred lifetimes."

- Doctor Strange speaking to Peter Parker.

Was this during the Happy Birthday storyline?

  Do you know what life is, Peter?  What it REALLY is?  It is the inevitability of hard times, which we survive only because of the moments of joy in between.  you are that joy.  The moments we had with the Avengers were that joy.  Now comes the inevitable.  And we will deal with it, and get to the other side, where more moments of joy are waiting for us... 

- Aunt May  from Amazing Spider-Man 536.

Yep. The Amazing Spider-Man #500.

Thor and punisher is also a win.

@Manbehindthewires: Thor is just too awesome.

nice one

My favorite MU inspirational speech is probably the one that Erskine delivers to Rogers in Captain America: The First Avenger. It's short, and a little more casual, but this small bit by Tucci really gave more insight into Erskine rather than just a generic comic-book scientist. He is both humorous and sincere here. This small scene with the two of them, the night before Rogers becomes Captain America and Erskine is killed, really shows a great dynamic between the two.

My favorite bit is probably this part: "This is why you were chosen. Because a strong man, who has known power all his life, will lose respect for that power. But a weak man knows the value of strength, and knows compassion."

I think that line really states what Captain America is all about. He doesn't want to become powerful just for power's sake. He wants to become powerful so that he can serve his fellow man. That's some profound sh#t right there :D

Nice post. That scene was terrific. Stanley Tucci was so good in that part.

@FadeToBlackBolt

Thanks. Yeah, it was a small role, but Tucci really made Erskine far more interesting and compelling than his comics counterpart.
