More quotes by George Takei
Good grief. If we can’t laugh at ourselves, and at one another, in good spirit and without malice, then what fun can be left? If we must withhold all ribbing in the name of protecting everyone’s feelings, then we truly are a toothless society. We will reach what I call “the lowest common denominator of butthurt.
George Takei
Do your duty as an American, and as a citizen of the galaxy... Vote!
George Takei
If you have to make laws to hurt a group of people just to prove your morals and faith, then you have no true morals or faith to prove.
George Takei
This is supposed to be a participatory democracy and if we're not in there participating then the people that will manipulate and exploit the system will step in there.
George Takei
We should indeed keep calm in the face of difference, and live our lives in a state of inclusion and wonder at the diversity of humanity.

I had a really unusual, remarkably unusual father because he, in our family, was the one that suffered the most. He was the one that explained American democracy to me. He said, ‘Our democracy is a people’s democracy and it can be as great as people can be, and it can be great… but we are also fallible human beings.’
George Takei
People forget that stereotypes aren’t bad because they are always untrue. Stereotypes are bad because they are not always true. If we allow ourselves to judge another based on a stereotype, we have allowed a gross generalization to replace our own thinking.
George Takei
The word today is detained, not interred. People are being detained with no due process. They don't know what the charges are, why they're being detained. Simply because they have an Arab name or some association, but there are no charges.
George Takei
The starship Enterprise was a metaphor starship Earth, and the vision was that the strength of this starship lay in its diversity.
George Takei
Unfriending me when I didn’t even know we were friends? It’s like breaking wind when you’re home alone. If I can’t smell you, knock yourself out.
George Takei
If leadership requires a fired-up sense of purpose and imagination, it also demands a profound connection to the society to be led.
George Takei
I'm a preservationist, I believe in preserving history intact, but I also enjoy the technological advances which have been made.
George Takei
We have to be vigilant about how the Trump administration may try to divide us from each other.
George Takei
Our differences in beliefs do not truly separate us, or elevate us over others. Rather, they highlight the rich tapestry that is humanity.
George Takei
As the old saying goes, I was simply looking for fan love, in Alderaan places.
George Takei
I think we learn more from those times in our history where we stumbled as a democracy than we learn from the glorious chapters.
George Takei
I myself am a Buddhist, not a Christian. But I cannot help but think that if Christ ran a public establishment, it would be open to all, and He would be the last to refuse service to anyone. It is, simply put, the most un-Christian of notions.
George Takei
But when we came out of camp, that's when I first realized that being in camp, that being Japanese-American, was something shameful.
George Takei
The only thing worse than human ignorance is human pride in that ignorance.
