Which character in "Ben-Hur (1959)" said...

So you think you are a fan of "Ben-Hur (1959)." Let's see how well you know it. Match the following lines with the characters that spoke them. Can you get them all right?

  1. Judah Ben-Hur, my people are praying for a man who can drive their team to victory over Messala. You could be that man! You could be the one to stamp this Roman's arrogance into the sand of that arena. You've seen my horses. They need only a driver who is worthy of them. One who would rule them with love and not the whip. For such a man, they would outrace the wind.

  2. [to a chariot driver trainee] You think you can treat my horses like animals? Cows and goats, that's all you're fit for! Get off, idiot!

  3. Citizens. I welcome you to these games in the name of your Emperor, the divine Tiberius. We dedicate them to his glory and to the glory of Rome of which you are all part.

  4. There's also a wild man in the desert named John the Baptist and a young carpenter's son who goes around doing magic tricks, miracles they call them...This man is different. He teaches that God is near, in every man. It's actually quite profound, some of it.

  5. [to Judah] I wanted your help. Now you have given it to me. By making this example of you, I discourage treason. By condemning, without hesitation, an old friend, I shall be feared.

  6. There is rebellion in the wind. It will be crushed.

  7. [praying] God forgive me for seeking vengeance. But my path is set and into your hands I commit my life. Do with me as you will.

  8. I see this terrible thing in your eyes, Judah Ben-Hur. But no matter what this man has done to you, you've no right to take his life. He will be punished inevitably.

  9. [to Esther] He is never to know. Let him remember us as we were. There's nothing else I can hope for, only this.

  10. [to Judah] You have the spirit to fight back but the good sense to control it. Your eyes are full of hate, Forty-One. That's good. Hate keeps a man alive. It gives him strength.

  11. Be wise, Judah. It's a Roman world. If you want to live in it, you must become part of it...I tell you, Judah, it's no accident that one small village on the Tiber was chosen to rule the world...It wasn't just our legions...No, it was fate that chose us to civilize the world - and we have. Our roads and our ships connect every corner of the earth, Roman law, architecture, literature and the glory of the human race.

  12. [to Judah] In his eagerness to save you, your God has also saved the Roman fleet.
