In his last years, Oskar Schindler was basically penniless, however for the remainder of his life he received donations from the survivors he saved. It was enough to keep him going till the day he died.

“I could have gotten 1 more person, and I didn’t”
Perfect line, perfectly acted, perfect everything.

[Gar]

“We’ve written a a letter, trying to explain things, in case you were captured — every worker has signed it.”

[TannerGSR]

This scene makes me ball like a baby, everytime. Schindler saved my grandfather, great uncles and cousins. They are portrayed in the movie. My cousin Olek was the boy who jumped into the toilet to hide from the nazis. Thank you Oscar Schindler, I'm here because of you. You've given me and thousands of other souls the great opportunity to experience life.

[actavisprime]

The way he frantically searches for the ring after dropping it is such an amazing non verbal way of showing how much it means to receive it.

[paulywick]

"There will be generations because of what you did"

That fucking line my god

[ilikeyoutube]

"One more person..." I can not imagine being in his position, knowing that no matter how many I saved, I could not save them all

[NickJohnCoop]

That letter as good as saved Schindler’s life. Some French forces came upon him and things would have gone badly until an interpreter read the letter. It made him burst into tears and he made sure everyone knew what Schindler had done.

[marshal_plays]

Even if he sold the car, pawned off the pin, and sold everything else he owned, including the clothes off his back, he would still think it wasn’t enough

[benanderson]

This man saved over a thousand people, and yet he believed he didn't do enough.

So shines a good deed in a weary world.

[prithviprakash]

His reaction after dropping the ring as he scurries to pick it up like he's dropped the most precious thing is absolutely beautiful. So much said with absolutely no words.

[RobertMorgan]

The curse of being a good person, no matter how much good you do you always feel it's not enough, because it didn't take ALL of you, there's still some of you left so you could have given more.

[MrFunzerker]

A foolish man is one who is satisfied with his good deeds, but a righteous man is one who has done many good deeds but still believes he didn’t do enough. May God bless Mr. Schindler and those like him.

"I didn't do enough"? Let that sink in. He used to be a greedy scam artist who wanted nothing more than to be wealthy. And when he made the fortune he always wanted, he gave it all up. Every penny, to save the very same people he took advantage of. He gave up everything he worked so hard to get. And for that 1100 people got to live. And he still thinks he didn't do enough. No one could've done more than he did.

[tlightning]

I love the way Stern immediately starts shaking his head “no” at Oscar once he says he could’ve got more. Stern instantly knows where he’s going with that and tries to put a stop to it immediately. It shows how close they became as friends and how well Stern came to know Oscar.

[sohinisen]

"Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire." What an inspiring thought! After saving nearly eleven hundred lives, Schindler thought it wasn't enough...His compassion, kindness and courage will be remembered forever.

[ImMuppt]

At that moment he realized that he didn't need to keep pretending that he didn't care about those people. And his heart broked.
"Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire" that line always got me.

[StevenJingles]

Why Liam Nesson didn't win an Oscar for this is beyond. This scene alone should have won him an Oscar

[NoName-sbtp]

“One more person”
You can feel the emotion from it in your heart. I personally think Liam should have been the one to get the Oscar.

[SalamiMilk]

When someone says, "I didn't do enough, " It's always a sign that they did more than enough.
More than the majority.
More than what they believe.
