Im Looking for three or four good quotes from John Sheridan, prefferably one or two being from his time as ISA President. Once again to be included on his article on The Babylon Project so thanks.

The whole speech of advice to David was good.Originally posted by munnp001 View Post
And you could always track down and list out all of his "rules"
"The new Interstellar Alliance, fresh out of it's crib and before it's even learned how to walk, is going to find the neighborhood bully and pick a fight." -
Limiting yourself to Sheridan robs you of the best lines in the IA archive:
Drazi: But... what are those shapes around Emphili?
Londo: The White Star Fleet
Drazi: (gulp) How many of them?
Londo: All of them!
Drazi: I must call my government!I believe that when we leave a place, part of it goes with us and part of us remains. Go anywhere in the station, when it is quiet, and just listen. After a while, you will hear the echoes of all our conversations, every thought and word we've exchanged. Long after we are gone .. our voices will linger in these walls for as long as this place remains. But I will admit .. that the part of me that is going .. will very much miss the part of you that is staying.Comment

From "A Paragon of Animals" about using telepaths:
Sheridan: "We've got to watch this, Delenn. We've got to watch this very closely. Because we are standing on the proverbial slippery slope, and if we're not careful, there's a big fall out there that's just waiting to happen."I believe that when we leave a place, part of it goes with us and part of us remains. Go anywhere in the station, when it is quiet, and just listen. After a while, you will hear the echoes of all our conversations, every thought and word we've exchanged. Long after we are gone .. our voices will linger in these walls for as long as this place remains. But I will admit .. that the part of me that is going .. will very much miss the part of you that is staying.Comment

From "No Surrender, No Retreat" replying to Ivanova's qualms about stating a war with Earthforce:
"...either we commit ourselves to this completely or we don't do it. Once we pull the first trigger we can't hesitate to pull the next one, because they sure won't. Now, once we're in, we're in: no surrender, no retreat."
From "Epiphanies" while looking out at the celebrations marking the end of the Shadow War:
"Embrace the moment. In the end, that's all we have. Trouble will come in its own time, it always does. But that's tomorrow. Give me today, and I will be happy."
Also in "Epiphanies" Bester, then Sheridan:
"I want you to know that I object to this, Captain. Ms. Alexander has no business being here. She's a blip. By all right I should arrest her and take back with me."
"You could do that. And I could nail your head to the table, set fire to it, and feed your charred remains to the Pak'ma'ra. But it's an imperfect world and we never get exactly what we want. So get used to it."
From "Point of No Return"
"Always plant a lie inside a truth; makes it easier to swallow."
From "Dust to Dust"
"Fight them without becoming them."
And from "The Fall of Night"
"I apologize. I'm .. sorry. I'm sorry we had to defend ourselves against an unwarranted attack. I'm sorry that your crew was stupid enough to fire on a station filled with a quarter million civilians, including your own people. And I'm sorry I waited as long as I did before I blew them all straight to hell."I believe that when we leave a place, part of it goes with us and part of us remains. Go anywhere in the station, when it is quiet, and just listen. After a while, you will hear the echoes of all our conversations, every thought and word we've exchanged. Long after we are gone .. our voices will linger in these walls for as long as this place remains. But I will admit .. that the part of me that is going .. will very much miss the part of you that is staying.Comment
