“A man must embrace his faith or be destroyed by it.”-Batiatus

This is a quote from Spartacus: Blood and Sand, Sacramentum Gladiatorum [1.02]

This is the complete exchange in that scene:

Batiatus: What would you do to hold your wife again, to feel the warmth of her skin, to taste her lips, would you kill?

Spartacus: Whoever stood between us.

Batiatus: How many men? A hundred, A thousand?

Spartacus: I would kill them all.

Batiatus: Then do it in the arena. Fight for me, and the honor of my forefathers. Prove yourself, climb to the pinnacle, gain your freedom, and that of the woman you’ve lost.

Spartacus: I did not lose her. She was taken from me.

Batiatus: A man must accept his fate, or be destroyed by it.

Spartacus: Why would I place my fate in the hands of another Roman?

Batiatus: Because of what they hold. Your wife’s? Pass the final test tonight with honor and servitude, call me Dominus, and I will help to reunite you. The choice is yours. “

What is faith, but an ebb and flow,

a membrane of sorth.

“You press beyond position. You fight. Win. Until then, we’re done” -Batiatus to Spartacus when this asked about his wife
Legends [1.03]

Your success depends on your

Discipline

Focus. How narrow can you make your focus in a shitty world, full of distractions and inanities.

How obsessed you are with your personal development.

How you stack up against your peers. If you’re reading this lines, you are way, way ahead of the others.

Unfortunately, the scumbags who despise my courage have removed most of my Spartacus videos from years past.

The crowd fancies our Thracian, doesn't it ? -Batiatus

Is Spartacus moving fate when he fights Crixus at the Romans reception or what ?

    Tip of the day: Say “I feel you” when talking to feelers and used the word “think” more when talking to thinkers.

    I have faith…in the mountains.
