Worf quotes from Star Trek: The Next Generation

Worf

Those who rely on luck... never win the battle.

Data

"There was a young lady from Venus, whose body was shaped like a..."

Jean-Luc Picard

[frantically cutting off Data] Captain to Security, come in!

Data

Did I say something wrong?

Worf

I don't understand their humor, either.

They are called mediators and they are needed only in one place each day.

Liator

The punishment zone, an area that's selected for a period of time.

Tasha Yar

It's a completely random selection?

Liator

No one but our mediators know what place or for how long. We're very proud of the wisdom of our ancestors. No person ever knows where or when a zone will be.

And so no one risks death.

Worf

Death?

By breaking any law.

Tasha Yar

Wait, explain this.

Liator

Only one punishment for any crime.

Worf

Anyone who commits any crime in the punishment zone dies?

Data

Do Klingons observe birthdays, Worf?

Worf

Klingons are born, live as warriors, and die.

Data

Then how do you know how old you are?

Worf

I don't. Do you know?

Data

I have no age.

Worf

Why do you mock me? Why do you wish to anger me?

Only to see if it is still possible.

Worf

It is.

Worf

My brother, it is you who does not see. You look for battles in the wrong place. The true test of a warrior is not without, it is within! Here! Here is where we meet the challenge. It is the weaknesses in here a warrior must overcome.

No.

Worf

You have talked of glory, and of conquest, and of legends that we will write.

Yes! The birthright of every Klingon.

Worf

Yet, for all you say, where are the words "duty," "honor" and "loyalty"? Without which a warrior is nothing!

What are you saying?! Living among these humans has sucked the Klingon heart out of you.

Worf

Put down the phaser.

You are a sham! My words were dust upon the ground. Your blood has no fire! You are weak like them! I don't care what you look like! YOU ARE NO KLINGON!

Worf

Perhaps not. [shoots Korris dead]

Worf

Are you okay?

Geordi La Forge

If I could see, I'd be seeing stars now.

Worf

I've studied, and know everything about my heritage.

William Riker

Then you're just the person I need to talk to clear something up. It's been my understanding that one of the duties of the First Officer of the Klingon vessel is to assassinate his Captain?

Worf

Yes, sir.

Not very hospitable, are they?

Worf

That is not your concern. Observe your station, Ensign Mendon.

Didn't mean to offend you.

Worf

You didn't. Yet.

Worf

That is how the Klingon lures a mate.

Wesley

Are you telling me to go yell at Salia?

Worf

No. Men do not roar. Women roar...[besotted] and they hurl heavy objects...and claw at you...

Wesley

What does the man do?

Worf

He reads love poetry. [regaining his composure.] He ducks a lot.

Worf

Captain, you will be killed.

Jean-Luc Picard

I'll go through the gate.

Worf

But where will you end up?

Jean-Luc Picard

Very shortly anywhere will be preferable to this room.

William Riker

Looks like the poor devil died in his sleep.

Worf

What a terrible way to die!

Worf

You must not drink the tea. It is deadly to humans.

And none too good for Klingons.

(disgustedly) Are you drunk yet, or can you go an' talk to Dr. Pulaski about the children?

What about them?

She wants to send them to school with the ship's children.

W - what do you think?

I think it's a good idea. So go handle it! (She looks pointedly at other Bringloidi hanging around nearby) And I'm sure there's somethin' you can be doin' with your time...(she turns to Worf) And as for YOU -!

Why'd you have to go an' tell them this magic wall can give 'em more than just meat an' potatoes? Now we'll never get a lick o' work out of them!

Worf

(still irritated) Madam - have you ever considered a career in security?!

If it's anythin' like babysittin', I'm an authority!

Worf

You are late.

K'Ehleyr

Sorry, had to make myself beautiful.

Worf

I fail to understand why.

K’Ehleyr

Worf, we’re alone now. You don’t have to act like a Klingon glacier, I don’t bite… actually, that’s not true, I do bite.
