Ships' Mottoes, as shown on their dedication plaques, as listed in the Encyclopedia:
USS Enterprise, "...to boldly go where no one has gone before." -and- USS Enterprise, "...to boldly go where no man has gone before."
USS Defiant, "All Iask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by." - John Masefield
USS Excelsior, "No matter where you go, there you are."
USS Sutherland, "There will be an answer, let it be..."
USS Voyager, "For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see, Saw the Vision of the World, and all the wonder that would be..." - Alfred Tennyson
USS Prometheus, "All the World's a stage, all the men and women merely players, they have their exits and their entrances and one man in his life plays many parts, his act being (illegable - seven?) stages..." -William Shakespeare
If the Phoenix, also, used "There will be an answer, let it be", then perhaps the Sutherland's plaque was just a redress of the Phoenix's. ------------------ You're a Starfleet Officer. "Weird" is part of the job.

The proper quote from As You Like It, act 2, scene 7 should be:
All the world's a stage, / And all the men and women merely players. / They have their exits and their entrances, / And one man in his time plays many parts, / His acts being seven ages.
Whether or not the plaque quoted it correctly, I don't know. But that's how it should be.

Well, that's a bit harsh... Voyager does have some quintisentially brilliant 'Trek' episodes... its First season was a very strong one... I mean look at the quality of
"Caretaker", "Time and Again", "Eye of the Needle" "Phage", "Jetrel", "Emanations", "Projections" , "Faces" and most DEFINATELY "Prime Factors". I was going to leave it there but then what about "Heroes and Demons" GREAT STUFF! ooh ooh and "State of Flux"!
