Edward James Olmos (Admiral William Adama) #Concern#Existentialism#Philosophy Sep 30 2017 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. Edward James Olmos (Admiral William Adama) #War#Military#Duty#Concern May 19 2011 I can't afford to From: Battlestar Galactica (2004) 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. Katee Sackhoff (Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace) | Edward James Olmos (Admiral William Adama) #Love#Family#Trust Apr 02 2010 You are the true dreamers From: Stand And Deliver You are the true dreamers... and dreams accomplish wonderful things. Edward James Olmos (Jaime A. Escalante) #School#Dreams#Praise#Encouragement Apr 02 2010 Ganas From: Stand And Deliver There will be no free rides. No excuses. You already have two strikes against you. There are some people in this world who will assume that you know less than you do because of your name and your complexion. But math is the great equalizer. When you go for a job, the person giving you that job will not want to hear your problems, and neither do I. You're going to work harder than you ever worked before. And the only thing I ask from you is ganas. Desire. Edward James Olmos (Jaime A. Escalante) #School#Warnings#Math#Work#Encouragement Apr 02 2010 The concept of zero From: Stand And Deliver Did you know that neither the Greeks nor the Romans were capable of using the concept of zero? It was your ancestors, the Mayas, who first contemplated the zero: the absense of value. True story. You burros have math in your blood. Edward James Olmos (Jaime A. Escalante) #School#Math#History#Greece#Rome#Italy#Mexico Mar 22 2009 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. Edward James Olmos (Admiral William Adama) #Military#War Mar 22 2009 Flush them out the airlock From: Battlestar Galactica (2004) It's still not too late to flush them all out the airlock. –Take too much time. –Ehh.
