Joe, help me out here. I mean - 5,000 years of wisdom? Him?  (Richie Ryan)

"I am Methos. You live to serve me. Never forget that."

"It's good to be a myth"

"Like you said, I go with the Winner."

"History makes men, MacLeod, men don't make history."

"Live, Grow Stronger, Fight Another Day"

"Life is about change. Civilizations rise and fall."

"Paris is too full of Parisians, even the French don't like Paris."

"I saw Christians facing the lions. Some of them looked almost happy to die for their faith... Then afterwards, the only ones looking happy were the lions."

"I've known a lot of us in 5000 years MacLeod, and of them all you were the best I'd seen."

"That's the way it is for them. So little time for them to see anything or do anything." (About mortals)

"I want to see me live happily ever after even more."

"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."

"Ah, the passion of youth."
