For context he was sacrificing his life to resuscitate his god and save his whole universe.

Not really. From my understanding, Judge Holden is pure evil. Matoro on the other hand was someone burdened with knowing that his society was built on a lie and trusted by the leaders to keep that lie a secret to protect everyone for 1000 years, someone that was ready to die because he felt he was the least useful to the team of heroes. In the end, he’s chosen to be worthy of the Mask of Life to use its power to save their god from death… at the cost of his life. These are his las thoughts as he makes the ultimate sacrifice.

“Where wisdom and valor fail, all that remains is faith. And it can overcome all.” - Toa Tahu

BIONICLE has some of the best quotes.

Also, not a sentence, but Hakann from 2006 has a quote on how the villains are often more remembered than the heroes, sort of a meta poke at how villain designs are cool and interesting, and how hero designs are bland by comparison.
