Avery Brooks: Commander Benjamin 'Ben' Sisko

Quotes 

• Commander Sisko : I saw you, in front of the crowd on the promenade. They look at you, and they see strength, and honor, and decency. They look at you and they see the best in themselves.

  Li Nalas : But it's all based on a lie.

  Commander Sisko : No - it's based on a legend. And legends are as powerful as any truth.

• Chief O'Brien : [on the graffiti of the Circle on DS9]  If they think scrawling a few signs is gonna get rid of us, they got another thing coming.

  Commander Sisko : Right now, they're just trying to show us that we're vulnerable.

  Odo : I wouldn't be overly concerned, Commander; this section is a low security area.

  Commander Sisko : As of now, Constable, there are no low securities on this station.

• [last lines] 

  Minister Jaro : [referring to Li]  The Navarch needed to return here to assume his new post. He's been made the Bajoran liaison officer to Deep Space Nine.

  Commander Sisko : I already have a liaison officer.

  Minister Jaro : Not anymore, you don't. Major Kira is no longer assigned to this post. She's been recalled to Bajor.

• Jake Sisko : [discussing Jake's first date]  I can see you're not ready to have this conversation yet.

  Commander Sisko : *I'm* not ready?

• Commander Sisko : Major, I can't loan you a Starfleet runabout without knowing where you plan to take it.

  Major Kira : To Cardassia IV, to rescue a Bajoran prisoner of war.

  Commander Sisko : You're right. I wish you hadn't told me.
