Space Marines make statements about other factions all the time; such quotes should preferably be collected in other articles (e.g. a quote made by a Space Marine about the [[Eldar]] should be collected in the [[Eldar Quotes]] article).
For quotes made by, or about, members of the [[Space Marine]] [[Inquisition#Chamber_MilitantChamber Militant|Chamber Millitant]] of the [[Inquisition]], the [[Grey Knights]] and [[Deathwatch]], see [[Inquisition Quotes]].

|align=center|'''''You talk of disaster, and I know well why you might. A hundred battles, a billion corpses, with more joining the carrion pile with each passing second. There is panic, cowardice, and nightmarish desperation in every hab-block – and fuel is being poured on the fire wherever you look. Yet this [[Vigilus|planet]] is still defended by the Imperium’s finest. We hold the keys to its survival. I assure you, we will be equal to the task, no matter what sacrifice it takes'''''

|align="center"|'''''What is the terror of death? That we die with our work incomplete. What is the joy of life? To die knowing our task is done. I stand alongside warriors of honour, and the warrior who acts out of honour cannot fail. His duty is honour itself. Even a warrior's death--if death—if it is honourable--is honourable—is a reward and can be no failure, for it has come through duty. Seek honour as you act, and you will know no fear. A fortress is a living thing: the commander its brain, the walls its bones, the sensors its eyes and ears, the troops its blood, their weapons its fists. If one organ fails, the whole dies. And if the whole dies, no single organ can survive alone. And above all, remember this... for a warrior the only crime is cowardice.'''''
