List of voters for the quote

Neelix: I want to tell you about a friend of mine. I first met this man almost a year ago, and to tell you the truth, I didn't like him much. He seemed a little too cocky, little too sure of himself. A lot of people had questions about him. He'd proven he'd pretty much sell himself out to the highest bidder, go wherever the wind blew him. So people wondered, could you trust this person when things got tough? Would he stand side by side with you, or would he let you down, when you needed him most? But the fact of the matter is - he proved himself, right from the beginning. I wouldn't be alive right now, if it weren't for him; and the same goes for many of you. It took me a while to realize it. Like a lot of people, I was... too caught up in first impressions, to see the truth that was right in front of me. I overlooked his bravery, because I was focusing on his brashness. I ignored his courage, because I saw it as arrogance. And I resented his friendliness because I mistook it for licentiousness. So, while this man was giving us his best every minute of every day, I was busy judging him. And now he's leaving. I'm proud to say that in spite of my narrow-mindedness, Thomas Eugene Paris became my friend. I'm gonna miss him. No more laughs over a game of pool. No more sitting up into the wee hours swapping stories. No more complaints about my cooking! Goodbye, Tom. I think I speak for more of us than you might imagine when I say you're gonna leave an empty space when you go. I hope you find what you're looking for.
