Make it so.

—Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Star Trek

A ship at sea is its own world. To be the captain of a ship is to be the unquestioned ruler of that world and requires all of the leadership skills of a prince or minister.

—Col. Corazon Santiago, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri

Don't. Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you, don't let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of that ship because while you're there, you can make a difference.

—Captain James T. Kirk, Star Trek

"Captain is such a dashing title, I've always thought.' She gave him a bright, brittle smile. 'I mean, colonels and so on are all so stuffy, majors are pompous, but one always feels somehow that there us something so delightfully dangerous about a captain."

—Lady Sybil Ramkin to Sam Vimes, Guards Guards

Wesley: He wants the impossible!

Geordi Laforge: That's the short definition of "Captain"

—Discussing their boss' job description in Star Trek: The Next Generation.

"There are three things to remember about being a Starship Captain. Keep your shirt tucked in, go down with the ship, and never abandon a member of your crew."

—Captain Janeway, Star Trek: Voyager

Look me over, I'm the Cap'm

You say it's such a joke

But I don't see you laughing

—They Might Be Giants, "The Cap'm"

Commander Shepard: I never actually reached the rank of Captain. Technically, I'm no longer in the Alliance military at all.

Captain Kar'Danna: You're the commander of the Normandy, responsible for the lives aboard it. That entitles you to respect among our people.

—Mass Effect 2

"Its my duty to try and bring everyone back alive."

—Lafiel, Banner of the Stars
