that your power of command with simple language was one of the magnificent things of our century. (from the poem: result)
[last title cards] Title card: Of the four aircraft hijacked that day, United 93 was the only one that did not reach its target. It crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania at 10:03am. No one survived. Title card: Military commanders were not notified that United 93 had been hijacked until four minutes after it had crashed. The nearest fighter jets were 100 miles away.

[Longstreet is briefing the commanders before the final charge] Brig. Gen. J. Johnston Pettigrew: Johnston Pettigrew, University of North Carolina. Lt. Gen. James Longstreet: Yes, General; your fame as a scholar precedes you. They still speak of your grades at North Carolina with reverence and awe. I understand you've written a book. Brig. Gen. J. Johnston Pettigrew: A minor work; if the General would care to read it... Lt. Gen. James Longstreet: Yes, General, I would like that very much. Brig. Gen. J. Johnston Pettigrew: Captain, fetch a copy of my book from the wagon. Lt. Gen. James Longstreet: Excuse me, General, but I don't think I will have time to read it today.
Adama: [sensing despair at the funeral service after the battle at Ragnor] Are they the lucky ones? That's what you're thinking, isn't it? We're a long way from home. We've jumped way beyond the Red Line into uncharted space. Limited supplies. Limited fuel. No allies. And now no hope! Maybe it would have been better for us to have died quickly back on the colonies with our families instead of dying out here slowly in the emptiness of dark space. Where shall we go? What shall we do? "Life here began out there". Those are the first words of the sacred scrolls. And they were told to us by the Lords of Kobol many countless centuries ago. And they made it perfectly clear that we are not alone in this universe. Elosha, there's a 13th colony of humankind, is there not? Priest Elosha: Yes. The scrolls tell us a 13th tribe left Kobol in the Early Days. They traveled far and made their home upon a planet called Earth, which circled a distant and unknown star. Adama: It's not unknown. I know where it is! Earth - the most guarded secret we have. The location was only known by the senior commanders of the fleet, and we dared not share it with the public. Not while there was a Cylon threat upon us. For now we have a refuge to go to. A refuge that the Cylons know nothing about! It won't be an easy journey. It will be long and arduous. But I promise you one thing. On the memory of those lying here before you, we shall find it. And Earth will become our new home. So say we all! Galactica Crew: So say we all! Adama: [louder] So say we all! Galactica Crew: So say we all! Adama: [very much louder] So say we all! Galactica Crew: [louder] So say we all! Adama: [standing at attention with the crew] So say we all. Priest Elosha: So say we all.
Picard: Captain's personal log, supplemental. We're heading toward Federation space at maximum warp. The crew has responded with the dedication I've come to expect of them. And like a thousand other commanders on a thousand other battlefields, I wait for the dawn.
Never pretend to a love which you do not actually feel, for love is not ours to command.
Smartass Disciple: Master, if you are so good, can you drive a car with your eyes closed? Master of Stupidity: Thou shall not break the rules of drive safely. Thou shall not tempt the police as well.
To be commanded to love God at all, let alone in the wilderness, is like being commanded to be well when we are sick, to sing for joy when we are dying of thirst, to run when our legs are broken. But this is the first and great commandment nonetheless. Even in the wilderness - especially in the wilderness - you shall love him.
We shall not kill and maybe next time we even won't.
Obeying a prophetic call to action brings positive benefits.
The 'commandment' of love is only possible because it is more than a requirement. Love can be 'commanded' because it has first been given.
Be in this world as if you were a stranger or a wayfarer.
Being in command means making tough decisions. Not being in command means shutting up and doing what you're told. --Artemis Fowl
