It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.
CAPTAIN PICARD
(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)
You know, I always say, never leave home without hard cheese.
ADIRA
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
Face your fear, and let your true self shine.
RAPUNZEL
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
Love can be hard. So when you find that special someone … treasure every moment.
RAPUNZEL
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
We’re not always defined by the things we can do, but rather by the people we are, and by those we love.
QUEEN ARIANA
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
Difficult choices are what make us who we are.
RAPUNZEL
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
The best way to predict the future is to create your own.
EUGENE
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
Mr. Rider, when the princess of Corona speaks directly to you, every word is important.
VARIAN
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
Okay, Eugene. Today we are rappelling down a cliff with a horse, princess, and a frog. Man, I love Corona!
EUGENE
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
I feel so bad saying this because my mother only wants what’s best for me, and the world is kinda dangerous, but … isn’t that what makes it exciting?
RAPUNZEL
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
You can’t make someone better. The best you can do is give them a chance. If they don’t want your help, then … all you can do is be there for them until they do.
RAPUNZEL
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
Okay, what can we learn from this? Crystal makes a terrible bridge, how’s that?!
EUGENE
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
Jack Thompson: It's funny. A lot of stuff gets stolen from Howard Stark. Cars, bombs, death rays.
Edwin Jarvis: Actually, the death ray's accounted for. It's in Nevada, I believe.
JACK THOMPSON AND EDWIN JARVIS
(Markus & McFeely, 2015-2016)
Yeah, yeah, I know. Destruction of property isn’t exactly official maritime procedure, but neither is a rusty winch.
EUGENE
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
Despite the excruciating pain and the fact that I am about to pass out, the science at work here is spellbinding!
VARIAN
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
Eugene: Does this mean I'm getting the boot?
Feldspar: No, it means you're getting fired.
EUGENE AND FELDSPAR
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
Sure. A priceless dagger I’ve had for fifteen years is drifting away on a barrel to be lost in the ocean forever. It’s all right though, because at least I’m stuck on a prison barge!
EUGENE
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
I want to trust you, and I trust that you trust Eugene, but I don’t trust Eugene, and if I can’t trust Eugene, I can’t trust you, and you’re just going to have to trust me. Trust me, that logic tracks.
CASSANDRA
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
Friends don’t leave friends behind.
RAPUNZEL
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
Ooh! Tsk, tsk, Captain. Never bring a crossbow to a sword fight.
EUGENE
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
The first time any man’s freedom is trodden on, we are all damaged.
CAPTAIN PICARD
(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)
You thought that by dangling an easy life in front of me, I would follow you into oblivion. Well, you were wrong. (pause) I’m a lot tougher than you think. From now on, the only thing I follow is my destiny.
RAPUNZEL
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
Peggy Carter: So, I've got two foreign agents with no voice boxes fighting over a milk truck full of experimental implosives.
Edwin Jarvis: Just another day at the office.
PEGGY CARTER AND EDWIN JARVIS
(Markus & McFeely, 2015-2016)
Howard Stark: What the hell do you think of me?
Peggy Carter: I think you're a man out for his own gain no matter who you're charging. You are constantly finding holes to slither your way into in the hope of finding loose change, only to cry when you're bitten by another snake. You're a man who says I love you" whilst looking over a woman's shoulder into the mirror. Steve Rogers dedicated his mind, his body, his life to the SSR and to this country, not to your bank account. I made the same pledge, but I'm not as good as Steve was. I forgot my pledge running around for you like a corporate spy. So thank you, Howard, for reminding me who Steve was and what I aspire to be. For all I know, you did steal your inventions.
HOWARD STARK AND PEGGY CARTER
(Markus & McFeely, 2015-2016)
You choose your enemies. You choose your friends. But family, that’s in the stars.
MILES O'BRIEN
(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)
Because we’re friends. That’s what friends do, right? They tell each other what’s in their hearts.
RAPUNZEL
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
I don’t know what’s weirder, that you have figgy pudding in your pocket, or that your armor actually has pockets.
EUGENE
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
If something is not impossible, it’s not worth doing.
KING EDMUND
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
When you stop taking things for yourself, you really get the most in return.
EUGENE
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
There is not a man or woman, no matter how fit he or she may be, who is capable of carrying the entire world on their shoulders.
EDWIN JARVIS
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
(Demanitus chews on Eugene’s hair)
Eugene: Cut it out!
Demanitus: (smiling) Sorry. Habit.
DEMANITUS AND EUGENE
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
Pascal? I would like to sincerely apologize. Your previous expression of terror was completely valid.
EUGENE
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
Clementine: Are you betraying us, boy?
Varian: I’m getting on the right side of history.
CLEMENTINE AND VARIAN
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
The quest for youth … so futile. Age and wisdom have their graces too.
CAPTAIN PICARD
(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)
I know my value. Anyone else’s opinion doesn’t really matter.
PEGGY CARTER
(Markus & McFeely, 2015-2016)
Lance, you’re a genius! And that’s the first and last time I’ll ever say that!
EUGENE
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
History has proved again and again that whenever mankind interferes with a less-developed civilization, no matter how well intentioned that intervention may be, the results are invariably disastrous.
CAPTAIN PICARD
(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)
The mind may forget, but the heart always remembers.
RAPUNZEL
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
Can we not go one place without some weirdo jumping out of nowhere?!
EUGENE
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
There are times when men of good conscience cannot blindly follow orders.
CAPTAIN PICARD
(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)
Peggy Carter: Mr. Jarvis, are you all right?
Edwin Jarvis: Jarvelous! (passes out)
PEGGY CARTER AND EDWIN JARVIS
(Markus & McFeely, 2015-2016)
Maybe some folks just ain’t allowed to have dreams.
ATTILA
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
He will triumph who knows when to fight and when not to fight.
SUN TZU
(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)
Lance: Hey, you remember that art teacher who brought us out here for her painting class, huh? Whatever happened to her?
Eugene: Well, she turned out to be a hideous she-demon who tried to steal your very soul.
Lance: Oh. Right, right.
LANCE AND EUGENE
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
Okay, Lance, buddy. I think we learned something today: everyone has a destiny. We have no idea what that fate is, but we do know one thing: we are not gonna meet it today!
LANCE
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
Peggy Carter: What are your feelings on committing a felony, Mr. Jarvis?
Edwin Jarvis: In this case … decidedly for.
PEGGY CARTER AND EDWIN JARVIS
(Markus & McFeely, 2015-2016)
Maybe if we felt any loss as keenly as we felt the death of one close to us, human history would be a lot less bloody.
COMMANDER RIKER
(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)
Sometimes the game is to know when to consider yourself before others—give yourself permission to be selfish.
GUINAN
(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)
Next time, lead with the high doom ratio legend!
VARIAN
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
Fear is the true enemy, the only enemy.
COMMANDER RIKER
(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)
Edwin Jarvis: Mr. Stark believed that the intruder had some advanced technological assistance.
Peggy Carter: Mr. Stark believes brushing your teeth requires advanced technological assistance.
EDWIN JARVIS AND PEGGY CARTER
(Markus & McFeely, 2015-2016)
Peggy Carter: Mr Jarvis, does Howard have a hearse?
Edwin Jarvis: No, but he does have a Woodie.
PEGGY CARTER AND EDWIN JARVIS
(Markus & McFeely, 2015-2016)
It's hard to be philosophical when faced with suffering.
DR. CRUSHER
(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)
A room with no way in, and no way out
See it in the rain, but never in a drought.
DEMANITUS
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
The victors, invariably, write the history. There is an unfortunate tendency of many cultures to fear what they do not understand.
CAPTAIN PICARD
(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)
Understanding has made friends of many different people.
CAPTAIN PICARD
(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)

Good manners, madam, are never a waste of time.
CYRUS REDBLOCK
(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)
Only a fool has no fear.
COMMANDER WORF
(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)
Peggy Carter: I’m not one for the cinema.
Edwin Jarvis: What do you do for relaxation? Assemble rifles?
PEGGY CARTER AND EDWIN JARVIS
(Markus & McFeely, 2015-2016)
The problem with the mole hole is, that there’s a hole mole in it, remember Raps?
CASSANDRA
(Sonnenburg & PrIgmore, 2017-2020)
Even when I look at you now, after all that’s happened, no matter what we’ve done to each other, I still see that look in your eyes. You’re my best friend, Cassandra, and I will never give up on you.
RAPUNZEL
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
Howard Stark: What am I doing wrong, Jarvis?
Edwin Jarvis: Sir, we are standing before an incomprehensible rip in the fabric of our world. Use the 7-iron.
HOWARD STARK AND EDWIN JARVIS
(Markus & McFeely, 2015-2016)
Let the dead rest, and the past remain the past.
CAPTAIN PICARD
(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)
Things are only impossible until they’re not.
CAPTAIN PICARD
(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)
Confidence is faith in oneself. It can’t easily be given by another.
COUNSELOR TROI
(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)
You can handle defeat in two ways. You can lose confidence, or you can learn from your mistakes.
COUNSELOR TROI
(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)
Doctor, in my experience most people wouldn’t know reason if it came up and shook their hand.
ODO
(Berman & Piller, 1993-1999)
No being is so important that he can usurp the rights of another.
CAPTAIN PICARD
(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)
I’m less than one hour away from a battle simulation and I have to handhold an android.
CAPTAIN PICARD
(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)
Edwin Jarvis: Mr. Stark deemed me worthy of his trust. I hope that would suffice.
Peggy Carter: Mr. Stark would trust a shark to not bite him if it was wearing a short enough skirt.
EDWIN JARVIS AND PEGGY CARTER
(Markus & McFeely, 2015-2016)
In all trust, there is the possibility of betrayal.
COMMANDER RIKER
(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)
How is it possible that my real name is even worse than Eugene?!
EUGENE
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
The most dangerous animal is a mother protecting her young.
CAPTAIN PICARD
(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)
Peggy Carter: My landlady gave me an idea.
Edwin Jarvis: Oh, splendid! Now if we could only get an opinion from your butcher…
PEGGY CARTER AND EDWIN JARVIS
(Markus & McFeely, 2015-2016)
I don’t like goodbyes. How about ‘until next time?’
COUNSELOR TROI
(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)
There’s no greater challenge than the study of philosophy.
CAPTAIN PICARD
(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)
Open your mind to the past—art, history, philosophy—and all this may mean something.
CAPTAIN PICARD
(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)
There are many ways to help a friend, and sometimes the best way is to leave them alone.
COUNSELOR TROI
(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)
It is the differences that have made us strong.
CAPTAIN PICARD
(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)
[At Dooley, Thompson and Sousa] You think you know me, but I've never been more than what each of you has created. To you, I'm the stray kitten, left on your doorstep to be protected. The secretary turned damsel in distress. The girl on the pedestal, transformed into some daft whore. You're behaving like children. What's worse, what's far worse, is that this is just shoddy police work. You were inches away from the woman that you want when you loaded me into your car.
PEGGY CARTER
(Markus & McFeely, 2015-2016)
Wesley: He wants the impossible!
LaForge: That’s the short definition of “captain."

(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)
I could be chasing an untamed ornithoid without cause.

(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)
Do not condemn this man because he is different than you are.
COMMANDER SISKO
(Berman & Piller, 1993-1999)
The road from legitimate suspicion to rampant paranoia is much shorter than we think.
CAPTAIN PICARD
(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)
Odo: I think I’ve finally figured out what crime you were guilty of on your world.
Croden: What’s that?
Odo: You talk far too much.
ODO AND CRODEN
(Berman & Piller, 1993-1999)
Listen to me, soldier. You do not just get to forget about Cass and start over. Family sticks together!
RAPUNZEL
(Sonnenburg & Prigmore, 2017-2020)
Those who cannot hear an angry shout may strain to hear a whisper.
ODAN
(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)
A great leader is one who is willing to risk saying yes.
COMMANDER SISKO
(Berman & Piller, 1993-1999)
You can’t be open to love if you don’t risk pain.
COUNSELOR TROI
(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)
Odo: You’re disgusting!
Quark: It’s a living.
ODO AND QUARK

You cannot put a price on a life.
CAPTAIN PICARD
(Roddenberry, 1987-1994)
Just because we don’t understand a life-form doesn’t mean we can destroy it.

Too many people dream of places they’ll never go, wish for things they’ll never have instead of paying adequate attention to their real lives.
ODO
(Berman & Piller, 1993-1999)
Contracts are usually between people who don’t trust one another.
LWAXANA TROI

Kajada: What kind of fool are you?
Odo: My own special variety.
KAJADA AND ODO
(Berman & Piller, 1993-1999)
One of the prices of giving people freedom of choice is that, sometimes, they make the wrong choice.
ODO

There comes a point when the odds are against you and the only reasonable course of action is to quit.
GARAK
(Berman & Piller, 1993-1999)
How hollow is the sound of victory without someone to share it with? Honor gives little comfort to a man alone in his home … and in his heart.
GENERAL MARTOK
(Berman & Piller, 1993-1999)
That’s the thing about faith. If you don’t have it, you can’t understand it, and if you do, no explanation is necessary.
KIRA
(Berman & Piller, 1993-1999)
Humans are a wonderful, friendly people as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working … but take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers … put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those same, friendly, intelligent, wonderful people will become as nasty and as violent as the most bloodthirsty Klingon.

Sometimes you can’t see true love even when it’s staring you right in the face.
JADZIA DAX

Friends … they’re like family, and nothing’s more important.
BILBY
(Berman & Piller, 1993-1999)
At the end of the day, it’s our actions, not our beliefs, that define who we are, what we are.
SLOAN
(Berman & Piller, 1993-1999)
Every once in a while, declare peace. It confuses the hell out of your enemies.
QUARK
(Berman & Piller, 1993-1999)
It’s like I said—the more things change, the more they stay the same.
QUARK
(Berman & Piller, 1993-1999)

MILES O'BRIEN
(Berman & Piller, 1993-1999)
You’ve got to play the cards life deals you. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. But at least you’re in the game.
VICK FONTAINE
(Berman & Piller, 1993-1999)
Perhaps the fact that it’s (love) not easy is what makes it worthwhile.
ODO
(Berman & Piller, 1993-1999)
So is that what we have become? A 24th-century Rome, driven by nothing other than the certainty that Caesar can do no wrong?!
JULIAN BASHIR
(Berman & Piller, 1993-1999)
No matter what the future holds, no matter how far we travel, a part of us—a very important part—will always remain here.
