"That's always a risk," Jim admitted, his voice low but not from uncertainty. "It is a question I must ask myself every moment Spock is not at my side. My regret, were something to happen to him, would be entire. Possibly out of proportion considering the other crimes Nero has committed. But I also must trust. Trust in Spock's analysis and instincts. Trust that the Narada cannot act against herself, while part of her is here. Trust that she would not request what she has if her sole intent was to destroy us, and that her goals will stall whatever Nero's may be.
"What I must weigh, therefore, is which regret is more likely: that I did not act, or that I acted in haste?"
