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

“A lie of omission is still a lie!!”
There. Are. FOUR LIGHTS!! Also Jean Luc. Anytime I'm telling my SO there are 4 of something. This is probably why we can't keep friends.
“The line must be drawn here. This far, no farther!”
Also Jean-Luc Picard
And I will make them pay for what they've done.
There's so many good moments in that movie. It is my favorite trek movie.
And also more importantly Quark.
Lieutenant Worf : [referring to Admiral Satie] I believed her. I, I helped her. I did not see what she was.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Mister Worf, villains who twirl their moustaches are easy to spot. Those who clothe themselves in good deeds are well camouflaged.
Lieutenant Worf : I think... after yesterday, people will not be so ready to trust her.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Maybe. But she, or someone like her, will always be with us, waiting for the right climate in which to flourish, spreading fear in the name of righteousness. Vigilance, Mister Worf - that is the price we have to continually pay.
Reminds me of
"Nothing everything is a lesson. Sometimes you just fail." ~ Dwight Schrute, The Office
Picard is a real quote machine. The one closest to my heart is:
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : There's no greater challenge than the study of philosophy.
Wesley Crusher : But William James won't be on my Starfleet exams.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : The important things never will be. Anyone can be trained in the mechanics of piloting a starship.
Wesley Crusher : And Starfleet Academy...
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Takes more. Open your mind to the past - art, history, philosophy. And all this may mean something.
