Thought for the dayA broad mind lacks focus.A coward always seeks compromiseA fine mind is a blessing of the Emperor - It should not be cluttered with trivialities.A hundred thousand worlds, ten hundred thousand wars. There is no respite, there is

nowhere to hide. Across the galaxy there is only war.A logical argument must be dismissed with absolute conviction!A mind without purpose will wander in dark placesA moment of laxity spawns a lifetime of heresy.A questioning servant is more dangerous than an ignorant hereticA single thought of heresy can blight a lifetime of faithful duty.A small mind is a tidy mind.A small mind is easily filled with faith.A suspicious mind is a healthy mindA warrior's faith in his commander is his best armour and his strongest weapon.A weapon cannot substitute for zealAbhor the Night, it is the Light that Endures!Accept your lot!Across the void of space men live as they have lived for millennia upon the sand, rock and

soil of worlds bathed in the light of alien suns. So is Humanity's seed cast far and wide

beyond the knowledge of Man, to thrive bitterly in the darkness, to take root and cling with

robust and savage determination.Adamantium walls and plasteel bulkheads may seem formidable, but an unshakeable faith

in the Immortal Emperor of Man can overcome any barriers.All Daemons are Falsehood. They are lies given the shape of creatures by the fell power of

Chaos.All hail the martyrs! On their blood is our Imperium founded, in their remembrance do we

honour ourselves.All mortal life is folly that does not feed the spiritAll souls cry out for salvation.An Empty Mind Is A Loyal MindAn open mind is like a fortress with its gate unbarred and unguarded.

An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded.An unprotected soul can no more cross the storms of the warp than a heretic can bear the

gaze of the InquisitionAnalysis is the bane of convictionAppeasement is a curseAs the mind to the body so the soul to the spirit, as death to the mortal man so failure to the

immortal, such is the price of all ambition.Thought for the dayBe courageous and bold, be humble before your masters, lead with valour! These things

above all others will be of use when your time comes to die.Be grateful of your Master's favour!

Be Pure.Be strong in your ignorance.Be vigilant and strong. The Emperor knows what evil lurks in the vacillation of a weak fool.Better crippled in body than corrupt in mind.Between the stars the ancient unseen enemies of mankind wait and hunger. Every voyage

into the nothing is a confrontation with horror, with the implacable things of the warp, and

with man's own innermost fears.

Blessed are the Gun Makers.Blessed is the mind too small for doubtBlind faith is a just cause.Brave are they who know everything yet fear nothingBurn the hereticBurn the Heretic!

Kill the Mutant!

Purge the Unclean!By the manner of their death we shall know them.Thought for the dayCall no man happy until he is dead.Carry the Emperor's will as your torch, with it destroy the shadowsCast out the mutant, the traitor, the heretic. For every enemy without there are a hundred

within.Cease and repent!Cease purpose and die.Compromise is akin to treacheryConsider the Predator. Let your soul be armoured with Faith, driven on the tracks of

Obedience which overcome all obstacles, and armed with the three great guns of Zeal, Duty

and Purity.Consider the Predator. Let your soul be armoured with Faith, driven on the tracks of

Obedience which overcomes all obstacles, and armed with the three great guns of Zeal, Duty

and Purity.Contemplation is the womb of treacheryCurse now the death in vain.Thought for the dayDamnation is eternal.Dark dreams lie upon the heartDeath brings its own reward.Death is honor.Death is the only answerDeath is the servant of the righteous.Defile not his presenceDefile the Mutant.Dib dib dib, dob dob dob.Do not question the Will of the Emperor!Do Not Wait for Death.Do not waste your tears. I was not born to watch the world grow dim. Life is not measured

in years, but by the deeds of men.Doubt is a sign of weakness.Drink deep of victory and remember the fallen.Duty prevails.Thought for the dayEven a man who has nothing can still offer his life.

Every human life is a spark in the darkness. It flares for a moment, catches the eye, and is

gone forever. A retinal after-image that fades and is obscured forever by newer, brighter

lights.Every lone spirit doubts his strengthEvery man is a spark in the darkness. By the time he is noticed he is gone forever. A retinal

after-image that fades and is obscured by newer, brighter lights.Examine your thoughts!Excuses are the refuge of the weakExist for the Emperor.Thought for the dayFacts are chains that bind perception and fetter truth. For a man can remake the world if hehas a dream and no facts to cloud his mind.Faith, Hate and IgnoranceFaith. Honour. Vigilance.Faith in the Emperor is its own rewardFaith is the strongest shield.Faith is your shield.Faith without deeds is worthless.Fear is the Mind Killer.Fear not the creatures of the jungle but those that lurk within your mind.Fear the shadows; despise the night. There are horrors that no man can face and survive.Foolish are those who fear nothing, yet claim to know everythingFor a warrior the only crime is cowardice.For every battle honour, a thousand heroes die alone, unsung, and unremembered. For those who seek perfection - there can be no rest this side of the grave For those who seek perfection there can be no rest this side of the grave Forgiveness is a sign of weakness.Thought for the dayHappiness is a delusion of the weakHard work conquers everything.

Hate enrichesHatred is the Emperor's greatest gift to humanity.He who lives for nothing is nothing. He who dies for the Emperor is a hero.Heresy grows from idlenessHeresy must be met with hatred.His Word is Our Strength.Honor your Chapter.Honour, Duty & Obedience.Hope is the beginning of unhappiness.Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.If a job's worth doing it's worth dying for!If a man dies that another should live, that man's spirit shall eat at the Emperor's tableIf you cannot speak well of your Master, be silent!Ignorance is a virtueIgnorance is blissIn an hour of Darkness a blind man is the best guide. In an age of Insanity look to themadman to show the way.In the blazing furnace of battle we shall forge anew the iron will of yet a stronger race.In the darkness a blind man is the best guide. In an age of Madness look to the madman to

show the way.Information Is PowerInnocence proves nothingInspiration grows from the barrel of a gun.

Intellect is a mask for traitorsIntolerance is a blessingIt is better to die for the Emperor than to live for yourself. It is not in my mind to ask questions that cannot be answered. That is the soul standing upon

the crossroad of vacillation. You search for wisdom, but achieve only a stasis of will.It is the bitter tears that the Gods weep that bind us to their hearts It is not the Horror of War that troubles me but the Unseen Horrors of Peace.

But faith alone can overturn the universe.No man died in His service that died in vain.No man died in the Emperor's service that died in vainNo man that died in the Emperor's service died in vain.

No Mercy. No Remorse. Just Kill.No pity! No remorse! No fear!Nobody is innocent, there are merely varying levels of guilt.Not Even The Dead Know The End Of WarNothing Can Hide From The Wrath Of The Emperor.Thought for the dayOfficial! The graves of wariors who have given their lives for the Emperor now outnumber

the stars themselves.Only in death does duty end.Only the awkward question; only the foolish ask twice.Only the insane have strength enough to prosper.Only the insane have strength enough to prosper;

only those that prosper

truly judge what is sane.Only the insane have strength enough to prosper. Only those who prosper may truly judge

what is sane.Only the insane prosper

Only The Lost Understand True TerrorOnly those that follow the guiding light of the Emperor may save their souls.Thought for the dayPain is an illusion of the senses, despair an illusion of the mindPain is an illusion of the senses, despair is an illusion of the mind.Peace is Hell.Perseverance and silence are the highest virtuesPower resides in the will of the RighteousPraise the sun that brings the dawn

Of our final doom.Prayer cleanses the soul, but pain cleanses the bodyPure in body, pure in heartPurge the unclean.

Purge those who are uncleanReason begets doubt; Doubt begets heresy.Reason is the cloak of TraitorsRejoice in service!Revere the Omnissiah, for it is the source of all power.Ruthlessness is the kindness of the wiseThought for the daySave & Destroy.Seek no reward but the satisfaction of your Master!Serve the Emperor today - tomorrow you may be dead!Serve the Emperor today, tomorrow you may be dead.Sins hidden in the heart turn all into decay.Sometimes the good must perish so that the rest survive. The lot of courage is to be sacrificed

upon the altar of battle.Sorrow awaits the foolhardySpeed the bolt that brings the end

Of enemy and friend.Step not from the path of the Emperor.Study the alien, the better to kill itSubmit to His willSuccess is commemorated. Failure merely remembered.Success is measured in blood; yours or your enemy's.Survival is no birthright, but a prize wrested from an uncaring galaxy by forgotten heroes.Thought for the dayThe Age of Battle has begun.

The fires of war burn brightly from star to star. Everywhere the fortresses of Man are

steeped in blood and ancient enemies appear from the darkness. Sensing weakness they

gather for the kill. They know as we know that night approaches and all mortal life shall be

extinguished. We know, as they cannot, that there shall be a new dawn and a new day when

we will rise and they will be driven into the darkness forever.

The Alien fails because it canot embrace the Emperor.The blood of martyrs is the seed of the Imperium.The burden of failure is the most terrible punishment of allThe common man is like a worm in the gut of a corpse, trapped inside a prison of cold flesh,

helpless and uncaring, unaware even of the inevitability of its own doom.The cosmos cries out for salvationThe Dark Gods laugh at the foolishness of meek appeasersThe difference between heresy and treachery is ignoranceThe dead watch over us and guide us.The dissident invites only retributionThe Emperor asks only that you hateThe Emperor asks only that you obeyThe Emperor bestows upon us the gift of intolerance.The Emperor commands; We act.The Emperor is our guiding light, a beacon of hope for humanity in a galaxy of darkness. As

we serve him, he is our greatest servant. As we pray to him, his thoughts are only for us. And

in the dark when the shadows threaten, the Emperor is with us, in spirit and in fact.The Emperor Knows.The Emperor knows, the Emperor is watchingThe Emperor will not judge you by your medals and diplomas but by your scars.The Emperor's mercy is neither to forgive nor to forget but to accept.The Emperor's judgement is a blessing for the Faithful.The end justifies the means.The ends always justify the means.The enemies of the Emperor fear many things.

They fear discovery, defeat, despair and death.

Yet there is one thing they fear above all others.

They fear the wrath of the Space Marines!The foolish man puts his trust in luck, the wise man puts his trust in the Emperor.The greatest man is but a ripple on the surface of space The guilt of heresy weighs heavy on the soul.

The justice of your action is measured by the strength of your conviction.The keenest blade is righteous hatred.The loyal servant learns to love the lashThe man that sings the Emperor's praise will speak a blessing all his days.The man who has nothing can still have faithThe Martyr's grave is the foundation of the ImperiumThe Martyr's grave is the keystone of the ImperiumThe Mighty have no room for doubtThe mortal burden carried dutifully to its destination is the Emperor's greatest praise.The most deviant mind is often concealed in an unblemished body.The Mutant bears his heresy on the outside, the Traitor hides it in his Soul.The only reaction to treachery is vengeance.The Priesthood of Mars maintain our Emperor's throne. Thusly do they underpin the

Imperium entire.The reward for treachery is retributionThe rewards of tolerance are treachery and betrayal.The road to purity is drenched in the blood of the martyred.The seed of heresy rests in the minds of reasonable menThe traitor s hand lies closer than you think. The truly heroic trust in blind faith.The truly wise are always afraidThe universe is a big place and, whatever happens, you will not be missed...The wage of negligence is utter destruction.The weapon slays where the hand wills

Serve the Emperor!The will of the Emperor is the might of the ImperiumThe wise man learns from the deaths of others.The word of the Emperor is the rule of the ImperiumThere are no answers. Only Death.

There is no cowardice in faithThere is no fear in convictionThere is no greater glory than a lifetime of dutiful serviceThere is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter and the

laughter of thirsting gods.There is no right or wrong in our profession. The present changes the past from moment to

moment. Only pray for the future to vindicate your action.There is no salvation without suffering.There is no substitute for zealThere is no time for Peace.

No respite

No forgiveness

There is only WAR!There is nothing to fear but failureThere is only the Emperor and he is our shield and protectorThere is only the Emperor, and he is our shield and protectorThere is purity of purpose in the faith of the justThey who feast today do so in ignorance of their mortality. Tomorrow they must die or

change.This is a dark and terrible era where you will find little comfort or hope. If you want to take

part in the adventure, then prepare yourself now.Though my guards may sleep and ships may lie at anchor, our foes know full well that big

guns never tire.Though silver in your palms weighs light

Compared to death by blast and sword,Do not shy the hopeless fight,

For endeavour is its own reward.Thought begets Heresy; Heresy begets Retribution.Through the destruction of our enemies we earn our salvation.Timidity begets Indecision; Indecision begets TreacheryTo a Space Marine the boltgun is far more than a weapon, it is an instrument of Mankind's

divinity, the bringer of death to his foes, whose howling blast is a prayer to the gods of battle.

To admit defeat is to blaspheme against the Emperor


12/13

To compromise is to errTo err is to invite retribution.To fault the Emperor's Word is an act of seditionTo question is to doubtTo question the Emperor's will is to embrace heresy.To serve Him is to worship Him.To withdraw in disgust is not apathy.To withdraw in disgust is not cowardice.True faith is blind and justifiedTrue happiness stems only from dutyTruth begets hatredTrying to understand weakens the will to actThought for the dayVictory needs no explanation, defeat allows none.Victory needs no explanation; Defeat allows none.Vigilance is the brother of truthVigilance is your shieldThought for the dayWatch for the MutantWe are bound by the blood of Martyrs.We can rebuild themWe must be as unsleeping in vigilance, swift in judgement, merciless in deed.We shall carry our word,

We will correct and unify,

Hail the Emperor!Weigh the fist that strikes men down

And salutes the battle won.What fear of death have we who know there is immortality in the great and noble deeds of

men?
