Boiler Room:
“And there is no such thing as a no sale call. A sale is made on every call you make. Either you sell the client some stock or he sells you a reason he can't. Either way a sale is made, the only question is who is gonna close? You or him? Now be relentless, that's it, I'm done.”

“What is it you said to the kid? The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very rough, mean place... and no matter how tough you think you are, it'll always bring you to your knees and keep you there, permanently... if you let it. You or nobody ain't never gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit... it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward... how much you can take, and keep moving forward. If you know what you're worth, go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit.”

Biloxi Blues:
“You would need three promotions to be an asshole.”

“Once you start compromising your thoughts, you're a candidate for mediocrity.”

There are a lot more but I can't remember them all. I looked throughout my DVD collection, I have almost 700, and this is what I got so far. I'll continue posting as I remember more. Feel free to post some of your own. As you can see, I'm a movie fanatic. One of the greatest things ever invented next to the written word, of course.
