Au contraire, he's the person you wanted to be. One who was less arrogant, and undisciplined as a youth. The Jean-Luc Picard you wanted to be had quite a different career from the one you remember. That Picard never had a brush with death, never came face to face with his own mortality, never realised how fragile life is or how important each moment must be. So his life never came into focus. He drifted for much of his career, never seizing the opportunities that presented themselves. He learned to play it safe. And he never, ever got noticed by anyone.

You behaved as though you belonged on the Bridge. And then later when I decided to make you an acting ensign, I was convinced you could be an outstanding officer. I’ve never questioned that conviction, until now. The first duty of every Starfleet officer is to the truth. Whether it’s scientific truth, or historical truth, or personal truth. It is the guiding principle upon which Starfleet is based. If you can’t find it within yourself to stand up and tell the truth about what happened you don’t deserve to wear that uniform. I’m going to make this simple for you, Mister Crusher. Either you come forward and tell Admiral Brand what really took place, or I will.” This will always be one of my favorite Picard speeches.

There are some words I remember since I was a schoolboy: “With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.” Those words were uttered by Judge Aaron Satie, as wisdom and warning. Such a powerful message of meaning and delivery. If all schools, parents and cultures taught this to young-adult children…the strength of character that would help forge in the world is unfathomable.

This is how you make a grown man cry. Im lucky to have existed during the same time as Star Trek.

The ending was perfect, I couldn't have imagined this one and it just blows me away. In my own opinion, the show's logo for each series and the quotes chosen to summarize them all into a cohesive message is phenomenal. When it starts with TOS, Kirk saying, "If change is inevitable, predictable, beneficial; doesn't logic demand that you be a part of it?" it's the first step. The series focuses on exploration and the quote recognizing that we can change and that recognition should drive us to improve ourselves and to make the world better. Then it goes into Voyager, Janeway saying, "I would never tell you or anyone else to give up hope." The series focuses on going home and the quote acknowledges that the struggle to make a better a better world. A better home is very far away and we can't give up. Then it goes into TNG, Picard saying, "There's a way out of every box, a solution to every puzzle. It's just a matter of finding it." The series also focuses on exploration with emphasis on diplomacy and the quote is telling us that we will face challenges to make a better world, we have to work together to find the answers to them. Finally, it goes into DS9, Sisko saying, "And the only way to face it, is to stand your ground." The series focuses on the tumultuous situation of a single space station in the middle of opposing factions and the quote is implying that there is more we have in common than different, so we can't run from the problems. We must stand together with resolve. That's just my take on it, and how it all fits together so well. It was certainly a privilege to have watched this video every single day.

I think the biggest reason why Picard is so beloved is summed up in one word "integrity". Above all other captains he does not bend or break the rules for the sake of convenience or expediency. And while all the other captains have saved humanity and the federation, truly only Picard can be considered the "Champion of Life". Organic, crystaline, cybernetic, energy based and everything that falls inside or outside of those paramiters. He is a true explorer and an inspiration to us all. Great Video.

Wouldn’t have minded a little enterprise in there too. I always liked archers line at the end of the first episode. Mayweather:’I'm reading an ion storm on that trajectory, sir. Should I go around it?’ Archer:’We can't be afraid of the wind, Ensign. Take us to warp four.’

Missed probably my favorite one, from Tuvok. "My youngest child has been without a father for four years. Yet I am certain of her well being, that I conveyed my values to her before leaving. And I have confidence in the integrity of those around her. You have been an exemplary mother to Naomi. And she is in the hand of people you trust. She will survive, and prosper. No matter what becomes of us." A second favorite is Garak about going home, but that's partially because of the greater geopolitical commentary about Germany. Though (ironically) it was more a commentary on post WW I Germany than II because of what the allies did to WW I Germany.

Some of my favorite little anecdotes in the show are when we see glimpses of the beautiful side of Cardassian culture. Their art, music, history, fables . . . all locked away behind the veneer of militarism and oppression, invisible to outsiders. Much like WWII Germany, part of why they were such a force to be reckoned with wasn't because they were evil, but because of how beautiful and rich their culture was. Hundreds of years of art, scientific advancement, and martial innovation and virtues . . . all twisted into a war machine used for one man's sick dream.

There was a speech by Captain Kirk that has stayed with me that I passed on to my own kids that contained the line 'There is a million things that you can have in life and 10 million you can't' in Charlie X I think the episode was. I usually said this to them when they demanded something I couldn't afford to buy them and eventually they understood it even though their mum undermined me all the time.

It reminds me of a quote by William Osler: "To have striven, to have made the effort, to have been true to certain ideals - this alone is worth the struggle."

While many of the actors deliver those lines flawlessly, especially Sir Patrick Stewart, it's the writers we should really appreciate. They don't nearly get as much credit as they deserve.

This video remains my favorite edit of Star Trek speeches. I watch it periodically when I need to be reminded that Star Trek is a beacon to which we all should look. And I use it frequently to indoctrinate friends and family to the ways of Trek. Thank you for capturing the essence of Star Trek, for showing how emotional it can be, for being true to the source material in tone and cadence, and for sharing.

It is a fundamental tragedy that this video has only 1.8k views, when all of humanity would benefit from its viewing. Well done. My life is better for having seen it. That's the power of Star Trek. No midichlorians here.

Wow, this is seriously one of the best Star Trek edits I've ever seen. I can only imagine the amount of effort and research it took to make this. Anyone that has an interest in Star Trek should watch this.

For some reason this quote really stuck out to me today and just had to keep listening to it a couple times: “In this galaxy, there's a mathematical probability of three million Earth-type planets. And in all of the universe, three million million galaxies like this. And in all of that... and perhaps more, only one of each of us. McCoy : Don't destroy the one named Kirk (you).” For me hits home with suicide prevention...

"Perhaps a little hamlet?" Despite Q knowing the future more or less, he still loves Picard and his determination

I went into this thinking "okay, another video that'll probably be a rehash of the same old clips" but this is, beyond a doubt, one of the best-edited and constructed montages I've seen. The music was wonderful, the clips you selected were poignant and brilliantly relevant, and the speeches you chose were actually some that went under the radar originally but were fantastically powerful.

Epic post. Tons of life lessons told in less than ten minutes. Tolerance, perseverance, loyalty, compassion, honor, friendship & forgiveness. If life is beating you down, yell “ there are four lights.” Let it be known that life can beat you, but it cannot defeat you. Long live Star Trek.

Three things to remember about being a director of a Trek 1. Keep the fire flames and fins out. 2. Go down with anything you make that isn't trek. 3. Never Abandon the theme of your franchise. All I have wanted from discovery was something somewhat similar to Voyager, Enterprise, TNG, or TOS. I just want a series about a crew on a more relaxed ship. Not crammed with Dark Corridors and Security Guards, but with casual crew members going to their Engineering or Scientific post. Running Diagnostics, and I have also always wanted the casual feeling of a not so large mess hall, like in Voyager and ENT. The alien dishes Neelix would serve. The Tri-Corders, Transporters, and Replicators of the 24th Century. We have been lacking a follow story on what happens AFTER the Dominion War and Voyagers return to Earth. The only source we have had is Star Trek Online which is a game. The USS Voyager, Enterprise F, G, H, I, and J. That huge gap. And what about the Prometheus? The Prometheus had so much potential for a series. It still does. Even though it is a warship it still has those casual 24thcentury vibes. And also maybe an Andorian captain or some Andorian Crew.ENT came around and made them look good. This is a good chance to make Andorians apart of star trek again. Heck, make the Cheif of Security Andorian.

Years later, I still watch this video from time to time. It summarizes both Star Trek and humanity in one stroke. The scene that Picard speaks of being angry for a very long time… that’s always resonated with me. I was always “such a happy kid,” according to my late brother. Something happened somewhere along the way. But hearing Picard’s words, listening to them as he described how one gets comfortable it with, really struck a chord with me. I like to think I’ve let go of the anger I once harbored. Where it ever came from, I’ll never know, but I no longer feel it. This video is, in a way, a reminder of how I used to be. If only humanity could move on in such a way.

The one that I live by to this day: "If we are going to be damned, let us be damned for who we really are"

Excellent ending (combining 4 independent inspirational quotes from the 4 captains into a single message)!
