"The day we stop showing compassion for the enemy, is the day we become the enemy".
Cyclops: two individual issues this is quoted: one is Uncanny 308 (or thereabouts) where he and Cable are fighting the X-Cutioner, and then the line gets repeated later in an issue of the Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix.
To me, this line shows a lot of the good that the X-Men stand for. Plus, the line was used in a very clever fashion: Cable mutters about hearing the line somewhere in his past, and the reality was that he DID hear it in his past.....but that happened to be 200+ years in the future....and yes, it was also Cyclops that quoted it to him then as well....
S'funny, ain't it? De way life goes about changin' everyt'ing--one moment to de next. Jus' a few weeks ago, it was me lyin' in dis same bed--recoverin' from my kiss wit' Rogue. You were standin' over me, Betsy. Telepathically probin' my mind wit'out askin'. Lookin' to learn somethin' I don' want nobody t'know. Ever. You and me--we never did get a chance to talk about what it is ya did learn...did we, Betsy? I wonder, chere--did y'learn my secret? My shame? (Gambit)
Sorry about the double quote post here are some more quotes for ya
Day two. No food, but I found a tape recorder. Figure a journal might help if some explorer finds a frozen Cajun Surprise a few hundred years from now. Been spelunkin' a bit. Diggin' through th' remains of the base. Seein' what I might find. Place really pancaked in on itself when it blew up. Makes for a really tight squeeze getting around. On the plus side, there's no food, so I'm losin' enough weight to slink around in no time at all. * Day four. Cold. Never been colder. Loisiana Bayou boy chillin' in th' Antarctic. Go figure. An' whose fault is it you're in this mess? Your own an' you know it. Can't even get the power to come back on. No lights. No heat. An' did I mention--no food?! Glass is half full, plenty of water, just wedge some ice under my armpit until it melts. Wouldn' want my legacy t' be nothin' but whinin', after all...an' what will my legacy be? A life of takin' things. Stealin'. But never buildin' anything. No real friendships. No lasting loves. And family? Any family that didn' betray me...I ended up betrayin'. No chance t'tell them how sorry I am. No guts t'tell them when I had the chance. Woe is me. I really hate the morose Gambit. Let him die here, figuratively, if not literally. * Dinner time! Let's scrounge for plastic shavings an' seat covers! * Almos' done...can't survive off scraps...gotta leave...but I know I won't make it...more'n a few kilometers... One last room... Haven't been able t'get into...maybe somethin' there... Food--a plane--anythin' be nice about now... Make a deal wit' th' devil himself at this point...
Y'know, I've had a pretty good night of it--an'what does that say 'bout me, considerin' I spent most of it wit' people tryin' t'kill me--an' I'd rather it not be ruined by your Oprah-moment!
Do us both a favor, hey, pup-pup? Scoot away from the girl
The gentleman assumes the pot is his to win...but I have a literal ace up my sleeve.
'm all outta cards--so I haveta settle for hurlin' this tres gouche debris! But better nobody 'tempt tellin' me I the only one 'preciatin' the irony o' it all.
"I never miss when I shoot f'r a pretty girl, chere."
"Ooh, two at once? Not my style. Seriously."
"Okay, our first order of business is...findin' out who--other than most of you in this room, that is--wants me dead!"
"Assassin kill Thieves, Thieves kills Assassins for three hundred years! No one knows why anymore! This feud is crazy!"
"Dis is not my home. I am not Thief, I am not Assassin. I am an X-Man. And I'm never comin' back."
Wolverine (to Hisako, after having crashlanded face-first on a planet in a n escape pod that was breaking apart): You are not ready to see me, kid.
Hisako: I don't think we should be staying in one place [..]
Wolverine: That armor [of yours] is pretty damn impressive. Hit the ground without a scratch. Can't say the same for my face. Another half-hour, I should have something resembling a nose. And some tendons. Then we move.
Hisako goes on to point out how she isn't an Xman, couldn't, shouldn't ..
Wolverine: Take off the suit.
Hisako: That's not really an option.
Wolverine: You wanna cry on my bubbling, skinless shoulder? You're in that suit, 'cause you're an Xman. And you're an Xman, cause I seen you fight and I want you on the team.

Again, Hisako and Wolverine, same scene. Talking about a possible codename for Hisako.
Hisako suggests: Armor.
Wolverine snorts: Armor? Hngh.
Hisako: Is it taken?
Wolverine: I don't think so, it'll work for a name .. kinda on the nose.
Hisako: Well, it gets to the point.
Wolverine: Yeah, it's very direct. I'm thinking of calling myself 'Claws'.
Hisako quips: Not 'Stench'?
Wolverine grouses: Shut up and let me heal.

Stop screamin' like a girl at a Backstreet Boys concert! I had a hunch th'explosion wouldn't hurt you.
You know it's a bad sign when I'm de voice of reason
'He' didn't know. Thought it might be something illegal... didn't know it would be somethin' so... awful. Changed me, that night did. Changed me hard. Sickened m'self so much I almos' died there too. Sometimes... wish I had. Couldn' stop de ones I'd gathered, so I helped whoever I could to get out. Managed ta snatch one little girl outta harm's way. Don't know who she was, bones stickin' every which way out of her face. But dat... dat was all I could do
Playin' for keeps is still playin', Mon Ami, so take a card...ANY CARD!"
I'm a thief, chere, jus' doin' what comes natural
Pardon my asking, m'sieu...but who died and made you God?"
so den de bartender, he say to Thibedeaux...'cause dat's how these stories, they be told inna Bayou country, hien -- pardonez-moi, mon brave, but Gambit must deal wit' some more of your compatriots. Un carte, a little dash o' mutant energy, an' when it hits...une belle explosion! Bada-bing! Bada-bang! Bada-BOOM!"
Fin'ly. I knew if I wore dis trench coat long enough... it'd event'ly come in handy
Every man has a price to charge and a price to pay
Losin's not my style
Eventually, one of you mooks is gonna realize not to play poker wit' me--'cause my hand will always win th' pot!
You think, Gladiator? Maybe 'cause you've only seen what happens...when I charge up an' toss a single card. Let's see how well you handle--the whole deck!
Ahh, de good ol' days, when dis thief's only concern was the big score. Tell me, Yuio, how'd you and I ever get involved in dis whole Hero Gig?
Lookee here, mes amis...another bad guy wit' his hair pulled into a pony tail. Is there some dress code nobody tell me 'bout?
S'il vous plait! That is no way to treat a lady, m'sieu--'specially when dat lady is my wife.
This is all the gambit quotes i have, anyone have any ideas on which one of the x-men i should post quotes for?
Bishop: (to Gambit) I will absorb your energy and give it right back to you!!
Wolverine: (to Bishop; busts out claws) Wanna try absorbing these?!! Now sit down!!!!!
