Famous Lewis N. Roe Quotes

“If Captain Jean-Luc Picard asked you to serve him aboard the starship Enterprise, you'd likely be happy to.

“To be good, is to be like God. Our purpose in life is to try and reach that standard. We will always fall short, but in our lifetime if we try our best to make a world where everyone is treated equally with respect, empathy, and compassion, the big payoff is that we will be rewarded with that exact thing in Heaven.”
