X 202% -- Garth, "Dagger of the Mind," stardate 2715.2.

X 205%must apply to everyone or they mean nothing.
X 205% -- Kirk, "The Omega Glory," stardate unknown.
X 206%We once were as you are. Spears and arrows. There came a time when
X 206%our weapons grew faster than our wisdom, and we almost destroyed
X 206%ourselves. We learned from this to make a rule during all our travels
X 206%never to cause the same to happen to other worlds ... just as a man

X 209%There are many who are uncomfortable with what we have created. It is
X 209%almost a biological rebellion. A profound revulsion against the planned
X 209%communities, the programming, the sterilized, artfully balanced
X 209%atmospheres. They hunger for an Eden, where spring comes.

X 232% -- Kirk, "The Apple," stardate 3715.6.

X 237%Physical reality is consistent with universal laws. Where the laws do

X 250% -- Spock, "The Naked Time," stardate 1704.2.
X 251%Back in the twentieth century, the H-bomb was the ultimate weapon,
X 251%their doomsday machine. And we used something like it to destroy
X 251%another doomsday machine. Probably the first time such a weapon has

X 251% -- Kirk, "The Doomsday Machine," stardate 4202.9.
X 252%There are certain universal ideas and concepts common to all intelligent
X 252%life. This device [the universal translator] instantaneously compares
X 252%the frequency of brain wave patterns, selects those ideas and concepts

X 252%Then it simply translates its findings into English.
X 252% -- Kirk and Spock, "Metamorphosis," stardate 3219.8.
X 253%Earth history, remember? Like the passenger pigeon or the buffalo ...

X 263%proof I offer you our exploration of this galaxy.
X 263% -- Kirk, "The gamesters of Triskelion," stardate unknown.
X 264%Freedom of movement and choice produced the human spirit.
X 264% -- Dr. Brown, "What are Little Girls Made Of?" stardate 2712.4.
X 265%Our species can only survive if we have obstacles to overcome. You
X 265%remove those obstacles. Without them to strengthen us, we will
X 265%weaken and die.
X 265% -- Kirk, "Metamorphosis," stardate 3220.3.
X 266%We're the same. We share the same history, the same heritage, the same
X 266%lives. We're tied together beyond any untying. Man or woman, it makes
X 266%no difference. We're human. We couldn't escape from each other even
X 266%if we wanted to -- that's how you do it, Lieutenant! By remembering who
X 266%and what you are! A bit of flesh and blood afloat in a universe without
X 266%end. And the only thing that's truly yours is the rest of humanity.
X 266%That's where your duty lies!
X 266% -- Kirk, "Who Mourns for Adonais?" stardate 3468.1.

X 272%Now, I don't pretend to tell you how to find happiness and love, when

X 272% -- Edith Keeler, "The City on the Edge of Forever," stardate unknown.
X 273%One day soon, man is going to be able to harness incredible energy --
X 273%maybe even the atom. Energy that could ultimately hurl men to other
X 273%worlds in some sort of spaceship. And the men that reach out into space
X 273%will find ways to feed the hungry millions of the world, and to cure their
X 273%diseases. They'll be able to find a way to give each man hope and a
X 273%common future. And those are the days worth living for.

X 277%Most people are afraid of being alone.
X 277% -- Kirk, "The Mark of Gideon," stardate 5423.4.
X 278%You know the greatest danger facing us is ourselves, and
X 278%irrational fear of the unknown. There is no such thing as the
X 278%unknown. Only things temporarily hidden, temporarily not understood.
X 278% -- Kirk, "The Corbomite Maneuver," stardate 1514.0.
X 279%No one knows how he'll act under pressure.
X 279% -- Sulu, "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield," stardate 5730.2.

X 281%When the personality of a human is involved, exact predictions are
X 281%hazardous.
X 281% -- McCoy, "The Lights of Zetar," stardate 5725.6.
X 282%Most of us are attracted by beauty and repelled by ugliness -- one of
X 282%the last of our prejudices.
X 282% -- Kirk, "Is There In Truth No Beauty?" stardate 5630.7.
X 283%We faced a crisis in our earlier nuclear age. We found the wisdom not
X 283%to destroy ourselves.
X 283% -- Kirk, "return to Tomorrow," stardate 4768.3.
X 284%We all have our darker side. We need it; it's half of what

X 284% -- McCoy, "The Enemy Within," stardate 1673.5.
X 285%We humans have a streak of barbarism in us -- appalling, but
X 285%there nevertheless.

X 286%purpose], even among humans.
X 286% -- McCoy, "I, Mudd," stardate 4513.3.
X 287%In this galaxy, there's a mathematical probability of three million
X 287%Earth-type planets. And in all of the universe, three million, million
X 287%galaxies like this. But in all of that, and perhaps more, only one
X 287%of each of us.
X 287% -- McCoy, "Balance of Terror," stardate 1709.9.
X 288%Maybe we weren't meant for Paradise. Maybe we were meant to fight our
X 288%way through. Struggle. Claw our way up, scratch for every inch of the
X 288%way. Maybe we can't stroll to the music of the lutes. We must march
X 288%to the sound of drums.
X 288% -- Kirk, "This Side of Paradise," stardate 3417.7.
X 289%We are not killers.
X 289% -- Chekov, "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield," stardate 5730.6.
X 290%To us, killing is murder, even for revenge.
X 290% -- Kirk, "Plato's Stepchildren," stardate 5784.3.
X 291%When a man feels guilty about something -- something too terrible to
X 291%remember -- he blots it out of his conscious memory.
X 291% -- McCoy, "Wolf in the Fold," stardate 3614.9.
X 292%We've come a long way in five thousand years.
X 292%But you're still of the same nature.
X 292% -- Kirk and Apollo, "Who Mourns for Adonais?" stardate 3468.1.
X 293%We're a most promising species, Mr. Spock, as predators go. Did you
X 293%know that?
X 293%I frequently have my doubts.
X 293%I don't. Not any more. And maybe in a thousand years or so, we'll be
X 293%able to prove it.
