Jean-Luc Picard quotes from Star Trek: The Next Generation

Make it so!

Jean-Luc Picard

Tea. Earl grey. Hot.

Jean-Luc Picard

Engage!

Jean-Luc Picard

Data, later.

Jean-Luc Picard

Shut up, Wesley!

Picard

Thank you, Mr. Data.

Jean-Luc Picard

If we're going to be damned, let's be damned for what we really are.

Jean-Luc Picard

Doesn't love always begin that way? With the illusion being more real than the woman? .

Jean-Luc Picard

Picard

Our lives just became a lot more complicated.

Jean-Luc Picard

No being is so important that he can usurp the rights of another.

Jean-Luc Picard

Mr. La Forge, time is one thing we do not have in abundance. [This line echoes a line from "Star Trek: TOS", episode "The Paradise Syndrome", in which Spock says "Time, Dr. McCoy, is the one thing we do not have in abundance." It has become a catch-phrase for Trekkies.]

Jean-Luc Picard

(in response to Kolrami's criticism of Riker's "jocularity") Will Riker is the finest officer with whom I have ever served. Don't confuse style with intent.

Jean-Luc Picard

It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness; that is life.

Jean-Luc Picard

We're not qualified to be your judges. We have no law to fit your crime.
