❦ Goodbye, Patrick Stewart

If only more leaders in the world were like Captain Picard. 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! —Star Trek: The Next Generation, The First Duty
