Wisdom and life lessons from Robin Hood 2010 movie

1...We can't repay our good luck with

bad grace. It invites darkness.

2...Milking a dry udder gets you nothing

but kicked off the milking stool.

3...Bad news is bad news

no matter how it comes.

4...You must understand

the bond of love

between a father

and his son.

5...King: Will God be pleased

with my sacrifice?

Robin: No, he won't.

Why do you say that?

The massacre at Acre, Sire.

"Speak up!"

When you had us herd 2,500 Muslim

men, women, and children together,

the young woman at my feet, with her

hands bound, she looked up at me.

There wasn't fear in her eyes.

There wasn't anger.

There was only pity.

For she knew that

when you gave the order

and our blades would

descend upon their heads,

that, in that moment,

we would be godless.

All of us.

Godless."

6...There is no difference

between a knight

and any other man

aside from what he wears.

7..."If it's illegal for a man

to fend for himself

how then can he be a man

in his own right?"

8..."Fate has smiled

upon us at last.

And I, for one, shall not

turn my back on her."

9..."Sire, forgotten men

are dangerous men."

10...Robin: If you're trying to

build for the future,

you must set your

foundation strong.

The laws of this land

enslave people to its king,

a king who demands loyalty

but offers nothing in return.

I have marched from France

to Palestine and back.

And I know

in tyranny

lies only failure.

You build a country

like you build a cathedral,

from the ground up.

Empower every man

and you will

gain strength.

King: Well, who could object

to such reasonable words?

Robin: If Your Majesty

were to offer justice,

justice in the form of

a charter of liberties,

allowing every man to

forage for his hearth,

to be safe from

conviction without cause

or prison without charge,

to work, eat and live

on the sweat of his own brow

and be as merry

as he can...

...then that king

would be great.

Not only would he receive

the loyalty of his people

but their love, as well.

King: So what would you have? Hmm?

Castle for every man?

Robin : Every Englishman's

home is his castle.

What we would ask,

Your Majesty,

is liberty.

Liberty by law!

11..."Rise and rise again

until lambs become lions."

12...In times of tyranny and injustice when law oppresses the people, the outlaw takes his place in History.
