Picard Quotes - What are your favourites?

Hello,

I am ordering a custom mug for my husband for Christmas, and I would like to include an excellent quote from Picard.

Trouble is: there are SO MANY that it is difficult for me to focus, and I don't want to ask him directly.

So, could you please share your favourite quotes?

If you can't recall exactly, that's okay, I can cross-reference them.

Thank you.

"Rumours of my assimilation have been greatly exagerrated"

 

"Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived."

or

"I want to see my father. I want to see him now. Now now now now now now!"

Depending on your mood. :P

 

The line must be drawn here! (although it is from a movie and not an ep)

*neat idea for a gift!

 

Shouldn't it be a bit Cartman-esq?

"The line much be drawn He'yah!!!

And I.... Will make them PAAAaaaaY for what they done!!!" *twiches*

Added:

Although I think if I wanted a Picard Mug, I'd want one with him wearing the shirt that says "Bitches don't know bout my four lights!" (See below: )

"Not good enough, dammit! NOt good enough!"


and from a crappy episode, "There can be no justice, so long as time laws are absolute. Life itself is an excersixe in exceptions."

 

Seize the time, Meribor. Live now; make now always the most precious time. Now will never come again
With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censored, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.

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

There are four lights!

It is possible to commit no errors and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life

 

No! Nooooooooooo! I will not sacrifice the Enterprise. We've made too many compromises already, too many retreats. They invade our space and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds and we fall back. Not again! The line must be drawn here! This far, no further! And I will make them pay for what they've done!

Shut up, Wesley!

 

I would be delighted to offer any advice I can on understanding women. When I have some I'll let you know.

 

Two of my absolute favorites!

Warmest Wishes,
Whoa Nellie

 

Hehe, i love that scene!

"There are four lights" is a good suggestion, Chakotay Lover!

DATA LIVES, you'll have to come back and let us know what you decided on. (and post a pic of the mug once you get it)...

 

"There are four lights!" would be phenomenal on a mug, instant smile once he looks at it! I genuinely think that's the winner

 

Really? It kind of gives me a "meh". But I think I prefer more humorous lines on my coffee mugs.

 

Just the juxtaposition of a line from a serious scene like that on a coffee mug makes me grin

 

Gilgamesh and Enkidu at Uruk.

 

DataLives: Since it's a mug, it should be short. So, I offer the most famous Picard line: "Make It So," or you could expand the line slightly to, "Make It So, Number One." Let us know what you decide! -- RR

 

I'm suprised no-one's said the obvious yet:

"Tea. Earl Grey. Hot."
