Your Starship's Dedication Plaque Quote

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
edited October 2014 in Ten Forward
We've all seen the dedication plaques in the background of the bridge sets of the various Star Trek series. You can even see an undefined version on your own bridge in the game. And we all know there is usually some inspirational (and not so inspirational) quotes that can be found at the bottom of these plaques. If you've though of a quote that you think you would find on your ship's dedication plaque, you can share it here. It doesn't have to be from some famous person - it could be something you made up, even if its totally nonsensicle.

Here are a few of mine:

USS Kearsarge: “Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.” ~ Theodore Roosevelt

IKS Ravage: "Today's Starfleet vessels are tomorrow's scrap metal."

USS Albemarle: "Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life." ~ Hyman Rickover

    HA! great one. "For the people who are still alive..." would be excellent too.

    My science ship is named after the insane Dr. Pretorius from the Jeffrey Combs m movie From Beyond. So I went with one of his mad scientist quotes "Now you can truly see..."

    "Humans are such easy prey." is another quote from that movie, it will be my klingon's plaque quote.

    I do recall them somewhere along the way saying that they intended to make the plaques customizable, but my memory is subject to halucination so it could all be the voices in my head...
