I am making a short trivia sheet with Star Trek proverbs and sayings, e.g. Khan's famous "Revenge is a dish best served cold." Please list some of your favorites if you want to, plus the source. Thanks

"There aren't gonna be any Damn permits, how can you get a damn permit to do a damned illegal thig"?
McCoy, in ST3.

I don't know if thats the exact wording or not. There is a book of quotes out.

Actually, that's from ST3. Just like "They're taking him to the Federation funny farm." and "I hear he's fruity as a nutcake.".

"Kiss the girl, get the key. They never taught me that in the Obsidian Order." - Garak (DS9: "Our Man Bashir")

Not a proverb, but a saying of sorts.

I always liked that one. Garak got into it after a while.

Worf: Sir, I protest. I am NOT a Merry Man.

*or*

Garak: You may have saved the entire Alpha Quadrant. And all it took was the life of one Romulan Senator, one criminal, and the self-respect of one Starfleet Officer. I don't know about you, but I'd call that a bargain.

*or*

Q: My life as a human being is a dismal failure. Perhaps my death would have some dignity.

I like this one regarding Garak I believe.

Sisko: "...I suppose I don't have to tell you to keep an eye on him."

Worf: "At the first sign of betrayal I will kill him, but I promise to return the body intact."

Sisko: "I assume that's a joke?"

Worf: "We will see."

Q, Worf, and Garak were always a source of good quotes to me.

Oh, and I loved when Jadzia said, "What is a yamok, anyway?" in "Call to Arms".

I've always wanted to know!
