I wanted to send a message to the television industry that excitement is not made of car chases.

The strength of a civilization is not measured by its ability to fight wars, but rather by its ability to prevent them.

We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing all-powerful God, who creates faulty Humans, and then blames them for his own mistakes.

In the 24th century there will be no hunger, there will be no greed, and all the children will know how to read.

It is the struggle itself that is most important. We must strive to be more than we are. It does not matter that we will not reach our ultimate goal. The effort itself yields its own reward.

To be different is not necessarily to be ugly; to have a different idea is not necessarily to be wrong. The worst possible thing is for all of us to begin to look and talk and act and think alike.

It isn't all over; everything has not been invented; the human adventure is just beginning.

Star Trek says that it has not all happened, it has not all been discovered, that tomorrow can be as challenging and adventurous as any time man has ever lived.

For me science fiction is a way of thinking, a way of logic that bypasses a lot of nonsense. It allows people to look directly at important subjects.

The human race is a remarkable creature, one with great potential, and I hope that 'Star Trek' has helped to show us what we can be if we believe in ourselves and our abilities.

We are on a journey to keep an appointment with whatever we are.

Like a flower, the magical softness of your voice touched my heart.

When the green hills are covered with talking wires and the wolves no longer sing, what good will the money you paid for our land be then

Pity that consequences are determined not by excuses but by actions!

The principles of ethics come from our own nature as social, reasoning beings.

The earth, our home, is beginning to look more and more like an immense pile of filth.

Give praise to others while they are here; they won't need it in the hereafter.

One-half, the finest half, of life is hidden from the man who does not love with passion.

Delays, disappointments and defeats cause quitters to give up in resignation; losers, to give in the frustration; winners, to come through with determination.
