The Star Trek Encyclopedia said the the USS Phoenix motto is "There will be an answer, let it be." in the book Star Trek: TNG The Continuing Mission show the motto "No matter where you go, there you are." which one is the right one?

Well there was more than one ship names Phoenix... Captain Maxwell's ship from "The Wounded" was named the Phoenix. Which brings up an important point. All the Enterprise ships had the motto of "To boldy go..." Shouldn't the Phoenix have what the first phoenix had. Shouldn't the Defiant have what the TOS Defiant had. Or the reuse of the Prometheus. And Why doesn't the defiant have "The 2nd ship" (or possibly many more) to bear the name "Defiant"?

Maybe it's just that the Enterprise is very special...

Movie, actually. The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai across the Eighth Dimension. It might have been an okay film if not for the incredible lack of an understandable plot... *L*

1) There has only been 1 Starfleet ship named Phoenix, so she can't copy the quote from the first Phoenix, since she is the first (that we know of)
2) TOS Defiant didn't have a plaque at all I don't think, and at that, TOS plaques didn't have quotes.
3) We never actually know what the quote on the original Prometheus is. Wish we could find out what it looks like though
4) They put "First Ship Of Her Class" instead of "Second To Bear The Name" on the Defiant because they figured it was more important.

I'm sure that there is a dedication plaque for the Nebula Class USS Prometheus somewhere.

I'm sure the "All I ask is a tall ship" text and the "Second star to the right" text are also shared by several ships, just because they are so catchy. There's nothing to say the quotes should be unique to the ships. Perhaps they are unique to the construction yards or something? (Did the Sutherland and the Phoenix share the official birthplace?)

Well that pic of the Sutherland's plaque is from the Encyclopedia which has been known to be wrong at times. I don't think we ever saw the Sutherland's plaque on screen did we?
I do think that all the quotes are unique to each ship. I think that's why they are done. Gives the ship a bit of character.
One of the few times I disagree with Timo.
