Separate the military and police

From: Battlestar Galactica (2004)

Episode: Water (2004) (Season 1, Episode 2)

There's a reason why you separate military and the police. One fights the Enemy of the State, the other serves and protects the People. When the military becomes... both... then the Enemies of the State tend to become the People.

Stand to your duties

From: Battlestar Galactica (2003 Mini-Series)

Episode: Episode #1.1 (2003) [Mini-Series, Part 1]

How, why, doesn't really matter now. What does matter is that as of this moment we are at war. You've trained for this. You're ready for this. Stand to your duties, trust your fellow shipmates, and we'll all get through this.

You once said you loved me like a daughter. If you still do, you've got to trust me on this one. –I can't afford to.

Her last battle

From: Battlestar Galactica (2004)

This is the Admiral. Just so there'll be no misunderstandings later... Galactica's seen a lot of history, gone through a lot of battles... this will be her last. She will not fail us if we do not fail her. If we succeed in our mission, Galactica will bring us home. If we don't... it doesn't matter anyway.
