15 lessons from kingsman: The Secret Service Movie

 

1.       A gentleman's name should appear in the newspaper only three times. When he's born, when he marries, and when he dies.

 

2.       Do you know what I love about pen and paper? Nobody can hack into this shit.

 

3.       Looking good, Eggsy. Feeling good, Merlin.

 

4.       Eggsy, come on. Time is not our friend.

 

5.       Being a gentleman has nothing to do with the circumstances of one's birth. Being a gentleman is something one learns.

 

6.       Eggsy: Didn't want me being cannon fodder for snobs like you. Judging people like me from your ivory towers... with no thought about why we do what we do. We ain't got much choice. You get me? And if we was born with the same silver spoon up our arses... we'd do just as well as you. If not, better.

“What the fuck you doing here? You taking the piss?
Galahad: Some more examples of young men...who simply need a silver suppository?
Eggsy: No, they're exceptions. Come on.

 

7.       Galahad: What do you see?
Eggsy: Someone who wants to know what the fuck is going on.
Galahad: I see a young man with potential. A young man who is loyal. Who can do as he's asked. And who wants to do something good with his life.

 

8.       If Dean treats your mum so bad, why doesn't she leave him? Low self-esteem. That's her problem.

 

9.       Eggsy: Yeah, well, when you grow up around someone like my stepdad... you pick up new hobbies pretty quick.
Galahad: Of course. Always someone else's fault.

 

10.   As Professor Arnold always said... "Humankind is the only virus cursed to live... "with the horrifying knowledge of its host's fragile mortality."

 

11.   "Manners...” "maketh...” "man."

 

12.   Those idiots who call themselves politicians... have buried their heads in the sand and stood for nothing but re-election.

 

13.   Now, if you really want to make the world a better place...I suggest you open your fucking ears,

 

14.   Being a gentleman has nothing to do with one's accent. It's about being at ease in one's own skin.

14.As Hemingway said,
"There is nothing noble...in being superior to your fellow man.” "True nobility is being superior to your former self."

15.   My point is, that the lack of a silver spoon has set you on a certain path... but you needn't stay on it.  If you're prepared to adapt and learn, you can transform.
