Chris Evans’ tenure as Captain America is over, but now we look back on his time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to bring you Steve Rogers’ ten most inspirational quotes for living your life as…

Unfortunately, it was in Avengers: Endgame that Steve Rogers has decided to pass the torch to his best friend, Sam Wilson, and as exciting as it is to see what he will do as Captain America, Steve will be missed. There are plenty of great moments from his time in this shared world though, and he’s dropped a few lines over the years that are patriotic and inspiring.
With that in mind, we’ve decided to celebrate the legacy of the Star Spangled Avenger by looking back at the ten most unforgettable and inspirational quotes you can use in your own life.
Even after COVID, the world isn’t the happiest place right now, so this might put a smile on your face and remind you that there are still ways to make the most of an admittedly dire situation!

Honorable mention: All about it!
Ok, this feature is about Steve Rogers, but if we’re talking about inspirational Captain America quotes, we have to highlight Sam Wilson’s amazing speech from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier final.
“I’m a black man, wearing the stars and stripes. What don’t I understand? Every time I take this thing, I know there’s millions of people gonna hate me for it . Even now, here. I feel it, “ It starts. “The looks, the judgment, and there’s nothing I can do to change it. And I’m still here. No super serum. No blonde hair or blue eyes. The only power I have is that I believe we can do better.”
It is a message that absolutely must be transmitted to the real world. Anthony Mackie’s tenure as Cap is just getting started, but something tells us it’s going to be a special ride. The rest of Sam’s commentary is equally moving and powerful, and we suggest you watch it again in the player above.
ten. “The price of freedom is high, it always has been. And it’s a price I’m willing to pay. And if I’m the only one, so be it. But I’m willing to bet that I am not.”
One of Captain America’s most patriotic quotes in the MCU, it comes from Steve’s memorable call for the remaining agents of SHIELD to step up and fight against HYDRA.
Though he knows the odds are stacked against them, Cap’s inspiring work is what helps rally the troops and save the day. Meanwhile, Steve even makes it clear that he’s willing to pay the ultimate price for freedom, even if it ultimately means he’s the last man standing against tyranny.
It’s definitely something to keep in mind in today’s climate.
9. “If I see a situation headed south, I can’t ignore it. Sometimes I wish I could.”
When Tony Stark responds to the quote above with “No, you don’t”, Steve comes back with “No, I don’t”.
That’s exactly the kind of person he is, and that Captain America: Civil War quotation is particularly poignant. It’s often too tempting to turn away from the horrible things that happen in this world, but we could all do better to be like Steve Rogers, especially if it ultimately means doing the right thing.
Again, given what’s going on in the world right now, we should definitely cut that quote in half.
8. “You’re hurt, hurt them back. You’re killed…get away.”
Listen, we’re not suggesting you try to escape death, and this quote was delivered in a humorous way. If you go beyond that, however, Cap’s message to the team at Avengers: Age of Ultron hit hard.
Steve Rogers has high expectations for himself as a hero and believes the team should be held to equally lofty ideas. If you are a leader in some way, these may just be words to respect when you stop and think about it. remember, Cap was ready to jump on a grenade for his fellow soldiers.
seven. “I don’t seek forgiveness, and I haven’t asked permission again.”
The quote above ends with Cap saying, “Earth just lost its best defender. So we’re here to fight. If you want to stand in our way…we’ll fight you too.” Needless to say, we don’t encourage you to fight those you disagree with or even those who stand in your way!
Steve – now Nomad in all but name – delivers this line to General “Thunderbolt” Ross in Avengers: Infinity War after Iron Man disappears on the spaceship owned by Ebony Maw.
What can we learn from it? Well, sometimes you have to accept that while your actions aren’t necessarily going to make everyone happy, if it’s the right thing to do, it doesn’t matter.
6. “As far back as I can remember, I just wanted to do what was right. I guess I’m not quite sure what that is anymore. Even.”
Captain America: The Winter Soldier saw Steve Rogers come to terms with the fact that following orders might not be what’s right, and the hero’s doubts about SHIELD – which were established in The Avengers when he learned that they were weaponizing HYDRA technology – came to the fore here.
Given the current state of the world beyond COVID, it’s worth remembering that when you start to see something wrong, you don’t have to follow those orders and can step in to do the right thing. . That’s what Cap has often done in the MCU, and it was definitely the right move.
5. “I don’t want to kill anyone, but I don’t like bullies, I don’t care where they come from.”
Bullies are the worst kind of people, and this comment from Steve Rogers in Captain America: The First Avenger during his interactions with perfectly underlines why Dr. Erskine chose him.
Unlike the Ultimate version of Captain America, this Steve isn’t xenophobic and only wants to go fight in the war because he doesn’t like the way the Germans are taking over Europe.
It just goes to show that we should all be able to unite against those who do evil in this world.
4. “Like a team.”
Earth’s Mightiest Heroes Really Disagree The Avengers, and it’s Captain America who plays a key role in bringing them together. As a result, they are able to fend off Loki’s invasion and ultimately emerge victorious in a fight that literally puts the fate of the planet on the line.
Steve Rogers responds with “Teamwork” after being asked how the team is going to beat the God of Mischief, and it’s an important reminder that teamwork is often extremely important.
3. “So finish it, because I’m with you till the end of the line.”
One of the most emotional moments in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe came when Steve Rogers did whatever it took to bring back his friend Bucky after being turned into the Winter Soldier.
This included taking a vicious beating from the HYDRA assassin, and entirely at the mercy of his old friend, Captain America makes it clear that if Bucky kills him, so be it, as he will support him until the end. end.
We would all be lucky to have such a great friend as Steve in life based on this memorable interaction.
2. “I’ve been on my own since I was 18. I never really fit in anywhere – even in the military. My faith is in people, I guess. Individuals. And I’m happy to say for the most part that they ‘t Let Me Down. That’s why I can’t let them down either.
Thanks to the machinations of Baron Zemo, Earth’s Mightiest Heroes are split into two in Captain America: Civil War, and despite Tony Stark’s betrayal, Steve makes it clear to him later that he will be there when he needs him. However, he cannot abandon those who have fought alongside him.
As a result, he drags his friends out of the raft (much to Iron Man’s amusement, it seems), and this quote says a lot about both the hard life Steve had and how much he appreciates those around him.
1. “I can do this all day.”
One of Captain America’s most famous quotes – he was clearly fed up at the time Avengers: Endgame rolled – it’s a perfect message for anyone standing up to bullies.
Used at various times throughout its time in the MCU, the most memorable was when we first heard it in Captain America: The First Avenger. Bad Steve Rogers gets beaten up in an alley and makes it clear he can handle this and won’t back down from these thugs.
Needless to say, it’s a good reminder to never let a bully bring you down in life.
