Kirk, at the end of City on the Edge of Forever:
"Let's get the Hell out of here."

OK, not a regular. Kor in "Errand of Mercy" : "I don't trust men who smile too much"
That's easy.
"BRAIN AND BRAIN! WHAT IS BRAIN???"
"BRAIN AND BRAIN! WHAT IS BRAIN???"
Yes, whenever I watch that episode and hear Kirk say that I kind of cringe and wonder how many female Trek fans didn't appreciate that line.
"There are certain things men must do to remain men." --Kirk in "The Ultimate Computer."
I can't help it. I have to post again....
Spock's Brain:
McCoy asks Kirk if noticed the delight aspects of the Sigma Draconis women.
Kirk : "Yes, I certainly did notice those delightful aspects."

Kirk to newly unemployed Lawgiver : "And you can get rid of those robes. If I were you, I'd start looking for another job."
Hard to choose just one, so here are a few:
Kirk explaining Spock's ears to a 1930's policeman: "He caught his head in a mechanical rice picker." (City On The Edge Of Forever")
Spock to Matt Decker: "Vulcans never bluff." ("The Doomsday Machine")
Kirk to Spock, explaining Trick-or-Treat: "You'd be a natural." ("Catspaw")

Khan: "Captain, although your abilities intrigue me, you are quite honestly inferior. Mentally, physically."
That sentence is all one requires to understand Khan--not his past, or politics (or defense of both), but that one line. Of course, it also explains his (ultimately) destructive ego in "Space Seed" & TWOK.

"Sir, there is a multilegged creature crawling on your shoulder."
A one liner that I never noticed that I thought was AWESOME was in Trouble With Tribbles:
Chekov: I was making a little joke.
Spock: Extremely little, Ensign.
I loved that! To me, that scene meant that they believed in Chekov's potential, but were also having fun with his inexperience by teasing him a bit. Spock gets it, even if he acts like he doesn't.
I also love this exchange:
"You mean, all by yourself with a disruptor, you can destroy this planet!"
(grinning) "That's exactly what I mean."
"I didn't realize you were so FORMIDABLE."
"You seem to think I'm joking. Where are the communicators?"
And my vote for all time BEST Trek one-liner IIIIIIIS:
"Matt! We're stronger WITH you than WITHOUT you!!!!"
Chekov: I was making a little joke.
Spock: Extremely little, Ensign.

Spock replying "35" in a deadpan, insulting manner when Philana asks him how old he thinks she is in Plato's Stepchildren. Its classic 1960s ageism in a time when that age was considered "old" and young "hip" people weren't supposed to trust anyone over 30. Its one of the more dated moments in the show's run.
