Ben Hur quotes

Drusus, as a boy I dreamed of commanding this garrison. And now the wheel has turned. Now, I am in command.

Messala

Judah Ben-Hur: May God grant me vengeance! I will pray that you live until I return!
Messala: Return?

Judah Ben-Hur, Messala

Servant: For the Tribune. With the compliments of Quintus Arrius. He awaits your pleasure.
Messala: The consul here?
Servant: It is Quintus Arrius the Younger, tribune.
Messala: Thank him. Bring him to me.
Drusus: I didn't know the consul had a son.
Messala: I've heard of the young Arrius. He's a champion of the great circus. Why is he here presenting me with gifts?
Drusus: Perhaps he will race against you in the games.
Messala: Look.
Drusus: It's magnificent.
Messala: And from a man I've never met!
Judah Ben-Hur: You're wrong, Messala.

Judah Ben-Hur, Messala
