- Jerusalem citizen: What chance has a Jew against a Roman?
- Sheik Ilderim: The great race is on tomorrow and I am without a driver. You must drive my Arabs for me!
- Esther: Why are your so certain, my father, that he is not Ben-Hur?
- Simonides: Nay, child, I had never a doubt. He is Ben-Hur! Esther, all these years I have lived a lie. I am a slave to the House of Hur! For myself I care not, but if I acknowledge him, you too are his slave! Yours the decision, Esther. I cannot make it. Heiress to Simonides the Merchant or slave-girl to Ben Hur!
- Charioteer: You're fouling me, Roman dog!
- Messala: Yes, and I'll wreck you, Greek, to smash the cursed Jew behind you!
- Pool of Siloam Woman: His sword is truth and his shield is love.
- Ben-Hur: I will drive your chariot! Not as Arrius the Roman, racing for glory - but as the unknown, driving for revenge!
- Sheik Ilderim: Come, then, for time does not loiter and we have much to do!
- Iras: If you are as slow in the race tomorrow as you are in love today, Messala may drive snails and win!
- Messala: I will ride you down - - wrench off your wheels - trample you into the sand! You shall race - to your death!
