The idea of having these displayed on your bridge is nice. Only thing I have been doing is trying to find specs to the dedication plaque, I know some guys that does some CNC maching on brass and copper and he could make me these plaques anyway I want for displaying on a wall.
I have too many to list, but here are just a handful.
USS DeForrest Kelly Constitution Refit
USS James Duhan Heavy Cruiser
USS Hawking Nova Class
USS Carl Sagan Long Range Science
USS Kennedy Assault Cruiser
USS Gene Roddenberry Heavy Cruiser
All plaques could read, "Things are only impossible until they're not" Ambassador Picard
I would have to say for the starships in my fleet I would like to believe the following quotes would be located at the bottom of the dedication plaque on the bridge.
U.S.S. Texas - (NX replica)
" Don't fight a battle if you don't gain anything by winning. "
U.S.S. Texas B - (Excelsior)
" Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity. "
U.S.S. Texas C - (Soverign)
" You're never beaten until you admit it. "
U.S.S. Bismarck - (Odyssey)
"Accept the challenges so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory. "
U.S.S. Thomas J Jackson - (Galaxy)
" Always mystify, mislead and surprise the enemy if possible. "
U.S.S. Robert E Lee - (Akira)
" It is well that war is so terrible. We should grow too fond of it. "
U.S.S. Kennedy - (Constitution Refit)
" Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names. "
my one desire according to my desire alone and by my will alone love desires only beauty of soul to calm passion.

WE ARE NOT PERFECT, BUT THAT IMPERFECTIONS MAKE US UNIQUE...
USS Valkyrie:
"Words build bridges into unexplored regions"
I named the ship for the plot to kill Hitler, so couldn't think of a more apt quote, given Starfleet's charter, and the literary nature of the ships existence :cool:
[Edit to add]
After 15 years of writing about the USS Endeavour, I figured I ought to have some words for its dedication plaque as well...
