                                 STAR TREK SAGA


From  the  inner  heart  of  internet,  where words and informations dance on an
etereal  web,  Acid  of  Skandal found the file that would make happy every Star
Trek fanatic.  The collection of its best aphorisms.
There is much truth in these future words from the past.


101 Our way is peace.
     -- Septimus, the Son Worshiper, "Bread and Circuses," stardate 4040.7.

102 Men of peace usually are [brave].
     -- Spock, "The Savage Curtain," stardate 5906.5.

103 He's dead, Jim.
     -- McCoy, "The Devil in the Dark," stardate 3196.1.

104 You're dead, Jim.
     -- McCoy, "Amok Time," stardate 3372.7.

105 You're dead, Jim.
     -- McCoy, "The Tholian Web," stardate unknown.

106 No one talks peace unless he's ready to back it up with war.
    He talks of peace if it is the only way to live.
     -- Colonel Green and Surak of Vulcan, "The Savage Curtain," stardate 5906.5

107 There's another way to survive.  Mutual trust -- and help.
     -- Kirk, "Day of the Dove," stardate unknown.

108 If some day we are defeated, well, war has its fortunes, good and bad.
     -- Commander Kor, "Errand of Mercy," stardate 3201.7.

109 It's [war is] instinctive.  But the instinct can be fought. We're
    human beings with the blood of a million savage years on our hands!
    But we can stop it.  We can admit that we're killers...but we're not
    going to kill today.  That's all it takes!  Knowing that we're not
    going to kill today!
     -- Kirk, "A Taste of Armageddon," stardate 3193.0.

110 Actual war is a very messy business.  Very, very messy business.
     -- Kirk, "A Taste of Armageddon," stardate 3193.0.

111 War isn't a good life, but it's life.
     -- Kirk, "A Private Little War," stardate 4211.8.

112 You Earth people glorified organized violence for forty centuries.
    But you imprison those who employ it privately.
     -- Spock, "Dagger of the Mind," stardate 2715.1.

113 Another war...must it always be so?  How many comrades have we lost
    in this way?...  Obedience.  Duty.  Death, and more death...
     -- Romulan Commander, "Balance of Terror," stardate 1709.2.

114 There's no honorable way to kill, no gentle way to destroy.  There
    is nothing good in war.  Except its ending.
     -- Abraham Lincoln, "The Savage Curtain," stardate 5906.5.

115 ...bacteriological warfare...hard to believe we were once foolish
    enough to play around with that.
     -- McCoy, "The Omega Glory," stardate unknown.

116 Those who hate and fight must stop themselves -- otherwise it is
    not stopped.
     -- Spock, "Day of the Dove," stardate unknown.

117 War is never imperative.
     -- McCoy, "Balance of Terror," stardate 1709.2

118 Another Armenia, Belgium...the weak innocents who always seem to
    be located on a natural invasion route.
     -- Kirk, "Errand of Mercy," stardate 3198.4.

119 No one wants war.
     -- Kirk, "Errand of Mercy," stardate 3201.7.

120 Death.  Destruction.  Disease.  Horror.  That's what war is all
    about.  That's what makes it a thing to be avoided.
     -- Kirk, "A Taste of Armageddon," stardate 3193.0.

121 Peace was the way.
     -- Kirk, "The City on the Edge of Forever," stardate unknown.

122 The face of war has never changed.  Surely it is more logical to
    heal than to kill.
     -- Surak of Vulcan, "The Savage Curtain," stardate 5906.5.

123 Do you know the one -- "All I ask is a tall ship...and a star to
    steer her by..."  You could feel the wind at your back, about you...
    the sounds of the sea beneath you.  And even if you take away the
    wind and the water, it's still the same.  The ship is yours...you
    can feel her...and the stars are still there.
     -- Kirk, "The Ultimate Computer," stardate 4729.4.

124 I've already got a female to worry about.  Her name is the Enterprise.
     -- Kirk, "The Corbomite Maneuver," stardate 1514.0.

125 I'm a soldier, not a diplomat.  I can only tell the truth.
     -- Kirk, "Errand of Mercy," stardate 3198.9.

126 One of the advantages of being a captain is being able to ask
    for advice without necessarily having to take it.
     -- Kirk, "Dagger of the Mind," stardate 2715.2.

127 Intuition, however illogical, is recognized as a command prerogative.
     -- Kirk, "Obsession," stardate 3620.7.

128 A star captain's most solemn oath is that he will give his life,
    even his entire crew, rather than violate the Prime Directive.
     -- Kirk, "The Omega Glory," stardate unknown.

129 The man on top walks a lonely street; the "chain" of command
    is often a noose.
     -- McCoy, "The Conscience of the King," stardate 2818.9.

130 Either one of us, by himself, is expendable.  Both of us are not.
     -- Kirk, "The Devil in the Dark," stardate 3196.1.

131 Computers make excellent and efficient servants, but I have no
    wish to serve under them.  Captain, a starship also runs on
    loyalty to one man.  And nothing can replace it or him.
     -- Spock, "The Ultimate Computer," stardate 4729.4.

132 I realize that command does have its fascination, even under
    circumstances such as these, but I neither enjoy the idea of command
    nor am I frightened of it.  It simply exists, and I will do whatever
    logically needs to be done.
     -- Spock, "The Galileo Seven," stardate 2812.7.

133 The only solution is...a balance of power.  We arm our side with
    exactly that much more.  A balance of power -- the trickiest,
    most difficult, dirtiest game of them all.  But the only one that
    preserves both sides.
     -- Kirk, "A Private Little War," stardate 4211.8.

134 You speak of courage.  Obviously you do not know the difference
    between courage and foolhardiness.  Always it is the brave ones
    who die, the soldiers.
     -- Kor, the Klingon Commander, "Errand of Mercy," stardate 3201.7.

135 First study the enemy.  Seek weakness.
     -- Romulan Commander, "Balance of Terror," stardate 1709.2.

136 You are an excellent tactician, Captain.  You let your second in
    command attack while you sit and watch for weakness.
     -- Khan Noonian Singh, "Space Seed," stardate 3141.9.

137 For thousand throats may be cut in one night by a running man.
     -- Klingon Soldier, "Day of the Dove," stardate unknown.

138 Conquest is easy.  Control is not.
     -- Kirk, "Mirror, Mirror," stardate unknown.

139 If I can have honesty, it's easier to overlook mistakes.
     -- Kirk, "Space Seed," stardate 3141.9.

140 Power is danger.
     -- The Centurion, "Balance of Terror," stardate 1709.2.

141 Military secrets are the most fleeting of all.
     -- Spock, "The Enterprise Incident," stardate 5027.4.

142 Leave bigotry in your quarters; there's no room for it on the bridge.
     -- Kirk, "Balance of Terror," stardate 1709.2.

143 The idea of male and female are universal constants.
     -- Kirk, "Metamorphosis," stardate 3219.8.

144 Is not that the nature of men and women -- that the pleasure
    is in the learning of each other?
     -- Natira, the High Priestess of Yonada, "For the World is
        Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky," stardate 5476.3.

145 There's only one kind of woman....
    Or man, for that matter.
    You either believe in yourself or you don't.
     -- Kirk and Harry Mudd, "Mudd's Women," stardate 1330.1.

146 This cultural mystique surrounding the biological function --
    you realize humans are overly preoccupied with the subject.
     -- Kelinda the Kelvan, "By Any Other Name," stardate 4658.9.

147 Earth -- mother of the most beautiful women in the universe.
     -- Apollo, "Who Mourns for Adonais?" stardate 3468.1.

148 Women professionals do tend to over-compensate.
     -- Dr. Elizabeth Dehaver, "Where No Man Has Gone Before," stardate 1312.9.

149 Extreme feminine beauty is always disturbing.
     -- Spock, "The Cloud Minders," stardate 5818.4.

150 Behind every great man, there is a woman -- urging him on.
     -- Harry Mudd, "I, Mudd," stardate 4513.3.
