"Make no mistake, the Mon Calamari saved the galaxy. Their cruisers protected our fleet at the Battle of Endor, allowing the starfighters to penetrate the second Death Star's core. Without Admiral Ackbar and his people, we would all be the Emperor's slaves."

- Ackbar: "Let me see if I've understood you correctly, Lieutenant. General Solo – posing as a stormtrooper – boarded an Imperial Star Destroyer, marched you and your group to the bridge and assumed command?"
- Page: "No, sir. General Solo was wearing an Imperial general's uniform, not stormtrooper armor."
- Mon Mothma: "A general. Naturally."

- Mon Mothma: "Luke is probably the last fully realized Jedi, General Solo. If he is lost…it may be over for the Rebel Alliance…and the galaxy."

- ―Mon Mothma and Han Solo, planning to rescue Luke Skywalker from the Emperor[src]
"This is how the Old Republic died. This is how the Empire was born. Look with me for a moment at what I call the Empire's Great Lie. 'Emperor' Palpatine has continued the pretense that he would end social injustice and corruption. On the surface, his policies may seem to be aimed at righting the wrongs imposed by the waning Republic. But his true goal has always been the subjugation of the thousand thousand worlds and the enslavement of all galactic citizens. He rules by fear rather than by consent. He states that all beings are equal citizens while he carries out secret missions designed to destroy whole races."

"As a government, it betrays the trust given it as successor to the Old Republic. It is unresponsive to the wishes of the beings it governs. It ignores their needs and oppresses them when they resist its tyranny. As such, it invalidates the purpose of a galactic government as initially stated: to serve the sapient life of the galaxy."
―Mon Mothma, quoted from Why Do We Fight the Empire?

"Appearances and perceptions are important to the New Republic. And properly so. The Empire rules by force and threat; we rule instead by inspiration and leadership. We cannot be perceived to be cowering here in fear of our lives."
―Mon Mothma, to Borsk Fey'lya

"I believe, and believe strongly, that the Republic needs Jedi that get their hands dirty, that are part of the Republic's daily life. Jedi that live in ivory towers might be more dangerous than no Jedi at all."
