I'll put everything I have in my capacity at the service of the noble cause and noble values of the U.N. and the U.N. Charter.
My fellow revolutionaries, liberation is a noble cause. We must fight to obtain it.
Right now people are interested in genetic engineering to help the human race. That's a noble cause, and that's where we should be heading. But once we get past that - once we understand what genetic diseases we can deal with - when we start thinking about the future, there's an opportunity to create some new life-forms.
Here at home, when Americans were standing in long lines to give blood after the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, we squandered an obvious opportunity to make service a noble cause again, and rekindle an American spirit of community.
John Carter: War's a shameful thing.
Dejah Thoris: Not when a noble cause is taken by those who can make a difference. You made a difference today, Virginia.
John Carter: Okay. See, my name is John Carter. Virginia is where I'm from.
Dejah Thoris: Where did you learn to jump that way?

John Carter: I'm not for hire. I've got a cave of gold of my own. Somewhere
[Begins to walk away]
Dejah Thoris: Only a madman would rave about the times of oceans!
John Carter: Is that your expert's view? I'm mad?
Dejah Thoris: Or a liar.
Sola: She's a good match for you, Dotar Sojat.
John Carter: Don't call me that.

John Carter: You said planet...
