Jonathan Archer was the Captain of the Starship Enterprise NX-01. He is one of the most important people in all of Star Trek history due to his role in the temporal cold war, impact on the Vulcan society, formation of the United Federation of Planets, earth's encounter with the Xindi species, and numerous other incidents. Historians regard him as the "greatest explorer of the 22nd Century". He is the only human to have two planets named after him. Clearly, a Star Trek royalty.

Nerdy science fiction details aside Captain Archer was also a great leader to his crew of the Enterprise NX-01. This quote is a poignant reminder of the spirit of human will power and human fallibilities.

Sometimes in our desperation to know more and have an impact on society we are consumed by what we see and observation becomes our default setting, so to speak. We are moved by other people's pain and sorrow yet we fail to do something about it. We sit there contemplating how bad things are, how much better they should have been, and how much suffering there is in the world.

Captain Archer reminds us that if we are to truly understand what it means to be human then we must do more than just observe. As cliched as this may sound, the world has always been changed by people who act, not by people who sit and ONLY observe. We can't just be thinkers. We also can't just be driven by our impulses and become doers without thinking. We must be thinkers and doers.

To be human is to do more than observe.
