USS Sovereign (Sovereign class)
"It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both."
- Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527), "The Prince"
Yes, this is an odd quote for a Starfleet vessel, but then again, so is naming a class, Sovereign.

Truisms I know:
1) Marvel is NOT better than DC (nor should EVERYTHING be ‘ULTIMITED’),
2) D20 is NOT the best gaming system out there (nor should EVERYTHING be ‘crammed’ into it),
3) And No matter how ‘THEY’ dress it up, Regardless of how ‘THEY’ title it, and even if ‘THEY’ say “BASED ON…”; “ENTERPRISE” IS NOT STAR TREK!!!
4) 'Reality' T.V. ain't 'Real'

"We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard..." -- President John F. Kennedy, 1961
The full quote has to be the god-king of run-on sentances...
"We choose to go to
the moon in this decade and do the other things,
not because they are easy, but because they are
hard, because that goal will serve to organize
and measure the best of our energies and skills,
because that challenge is one that we are willing
to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and
one which we intend to win, and the others, too."

A group of quotes from some very interesting sources
There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires. (Nelson Mandela, 1953)
I am not a liberator. Liberators do not exist. The people liberate themselves. - Ernesto Che Guevara

Patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone.

Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.
