Posted by Galen (Member # 72) on :

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

"Victory is Life!"

Posted by Kosh (Member # 167) on :

"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.

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :

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.

------------------
Doctor: "Run along. I'll reattach any severed limbs. Just don't misplace them." (Voyager: "The Killing Game")

Posted by Kosh (Member # 167) on :

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

WHO ARE YOU

Posted by Saltah'na (Member # 33) on :

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.

Posted by Hobbes (Member # 138) on :

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.

I've always wanted to know!

"The truth is an excuse for a lack of imagination."

Garak

I don't know where this is from, or even if this is exactly what he said, but it is one of my favourites.

"Calm may work for Locutus of the Borg here,
but I'm freaked out, and I intend to stay that way!"

- Xander, Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :

From memory, so I'm not sure how accurate it is.

Kira: "You actually expect us to have some sort of intimate relationship, don't you?"

Dukat: "But Major...we already do."

"And give me back my evil heart so I can see you as you are."

Posted by Elim Garak (Member # 14) on :

Jeff: Actually, I believe it was DS9, not TNG, and was probably "Looking for Par'Mach in All the Wrong Places" or "Let He Who is Without Sin...".

Elim Garak: "Oh, it's just Garak. Plain, simple Garak. Now, good day to you, Doctor. I'm so glad to have made such an... interesting new friend today." (DS9: "Past Prologue")

The quote from the best moment in all of Trek:

"THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!!!" -- Picard, "Chain of Command, Part 2"

BTW, in case nobody mentioned it, there does already exist a "Quotable Star Trek" book.

"When we turn our back on our principles, we stop being human." -- Janeway, "Equinox"

Well... four lights would be even better if it was an original quote....

"They don�t call it show business for nothing. This is an ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly town in many, many ways. But big f*cking deal. Big business is ugly. The world is ugly. Our job is to make our little piece of it better. Whenever you get into the general, it�s not going to be all beer and Skittles and Christmas trees."
-Ira Stephen Behr on the Moore fiasco

Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :

Well I hope he goes easy on me, as I'm relatively new here, and really have no clue what I did, although I seem to recall there being a discussion about smiting Brazil or something a while back...

Posted by Kosh (Member # 167) on :

Smite, smite, smite, smite.

O'Brian and Bashir are arguing about Davey Crockett
And Worf responds

"If you believe in the legend of Davey Crockett then he died a hero, if you do not then he was just a man and it doesn't matter how he died."

If you need it I can build it. Just as long as there is a box of junk for me to use.
