“The first duty of every Starfleet officer is to the truth, whether scientific truth, historical truth or personal truth. It is the guiding principle on which Starfleet is based so if you can’t find it within yourself to stand up for the truth then you don’t deserve to wear that uniform.” -Picard
“‘Why me?’ It’s the question you ask yourself every morning and every evening. No one else gets a second chance so why me?

You know, there are some words I’ve known since I was a schoolboy: “With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.” Those words were uttered by Judge Aaron Satie, as wisdom and warning. The first time any man’s freedom is trodden on, we’re all damaged.
The Higher, The Fewer!
You just don’t get it, do you, Jean Luc? The trial never ends.
“That’s a stupid question.”
“I may be Admiral by rank, but all I’ve wanted to be was an engineer.”
