"Then I will tell you a great secret, Captain. Perhaps the greatest of all time.

- Sheridan and Delenn: "The Deconstruction of Falling Stars"

"What does the candle represent?"
"Life."
"Whose life?"
"All life, every life. We're all born as molecules in the hearts of a billion stars, molecules that do not understand politics, policies and differences. In a billion years we, foolish molecules forget who we are and where we came from. Desperate acts of ego. We give ourselves names, fight over lines on maps. And pretend our light is better than everyone else's. The flame reminds us of the piece of those stars that live inside us. A spark that tells us: you should know better. The flame also reminds us that life is precious, as each flame is unique. When it goes out, it's gone forever. And there will never be another quite like it. So many candles will go out tonight. I wonder some days if we can see anything at all."
- Sheridan and Delenn: "And All My Dreams, Torn Asunder"

Sheridan, "I give you what little wisdom, I have. Delenn is the greatest allies you will every have. Her deepest of courage and comparison are unmatched in my experience. Look to her for wisdom and fire in equal measure and if you every have any doubt, talk to her. She will never judge you. She will only love you. From time to time, you will make mistakes. They are inevitable. Sometimes, those mistakes will be huge. What matters is that you learn from them. There is nothing wrong with falling down, as long as you end up just two inches taller, when you pick yourself off the fall. At times, you may end far away from home. You may not be sure of where you belong anymore more. Home is always there, because home is not a place. It is where every your passion takes you. As you continue on your path, you will lose some friends and gain some new ones. The process is painful, but often necessary. They will change and you will change, because life is change. From time to time, they must find their own way and that way may not be yours. Enjoy them for what they are and remember them for what they were. O, there is not much left. Except, I believe. I remember do believe that so or later, no matter what happened, things do work out. Well we have hard times. We suffer. We lose loved ones. The road is never easy. It was never meant to be easy, but in the long road, if you stay to watch you believe, things do work out. Always be willing to fight for what you believe in. It doesn't matter if thousand people agree with you or one person agrees with you. It doesn't matter if you stand completely alone. Fight for what you believe. Which begins me to the ... the first piece of advice my dad gave me and now I am giving to you. Never ..."
Delenn, "Never start a fight, but always finish it."
Sheridan, Always, finish it."

- Sheridan and Delenn: "Objects at Rest"

"I want to feel space beneath me, one last time. It's where I belong, where I have always belonged.

And if it all ends here like it ends anywhere else.. but if it ends out there .. they'll remember it."
