I think God is as much a basic ingredient in the universe as neutrons and positrons. This is the prime force, when we look around the universe.

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.

Greatness is sifted through the grind, therefore don't despise the hard work now for surely it will be worth it in the end.

Dreamers dream about things being different. Visionaries envision themselves making a difference.

Christianity is the only true and perfect religion; and... in proportion as mankind adopt its principles and obey its precepts, they will be wise and happy.

Barack Obama has domesticated the left in such a way that we feel as if we have no alternative but him...I refuse to accept that.

The question whether the long effort to put an end to war can succeed without another major convulsion challenges not only our minds but our sense of responsibility.

Properly understood, then, the desire to act justly derives in part from the desire to express most fully what we are or can be, namely free and equal rational beings with the liberty to choose.

I'm sure great scripts are hard to find, but I'm definitely open, and waiting to see what comes my way.

I've finally learned not to want things I cannot have.

Its more about conception and touch and spirit and soul than whether my hardware was in place.

People who don't know me are so negative about me. When they finally meet me, they change that negative into a positive.
