Maximus Decimus Meridius - Gladiator

Marco Aurelio famous phrase, "what we do now has its echo in eternity" Became popular after appearing in the movie Gladiator, where Maximus, the character of Russel Crowe, used to harangue his troops.

Arguably the most recognizable quote from the movie, this line delivered by Maximus goes to show the lack of empathy the crowd embodies. The mob wants nothing more than bloodshed and death, a show to distract them from the emptiness of reality. Maximus is a soldier, not a merciless killer who kills for fun. This separates him from the gladiators as one who fights for his county rather than one who fights for the show.
