John McClane

"The best thing I ever did was come here."

"I learned something today."

"Now I know what a TV dinner feels like."

"Welcome to the party, pal!"

"Yippee-ki-yay, motherf***er!"

"I'm a cop, you know. I have a right to be here."

"Just the one guy? I hate to disappoint you, but I'm not alone."

"How can I help you? I'm all ears."

"This is a bad idea. But I'm doing it anyway."

"You asked for it. Now you got it."

"I should have listened to my wife."

"Die hard or die trying—that's the choice."

"You can't always get what you want, but you can fight for it."

"Glass cuts deep. Like mistakes."

"I'm not a hero. I'm just a guy trying to survive."

"Mistakes teach you more than success ever could."

"Sometimes you have to bleed to know you're alive."

"Family first—always. Even when you don't realize it."

"A man's only as good as his word."

"Better to die on your feet than live on your knees."

"Everyone has a choice. Make yours count."

"Running on empty teaches you what you're made of."

"The best plans fall apart when people get involved."

"Violence isn't the answer, but sometimes it's the only option."

"You don't get to choose your family, only how you fight for them."

"Fear keeps you sharp. Use it."

"I've learned more in one night than in years of peace."

"Hope is the last thing a man loses."

"In the end, it's about who you trust."

"A good cop never stops fighting."
