Throughout the original series and the Star Trek movies, James Kirk has shared many bits of wisdom and humor with the world. Here are some of Captain Kirk's best quotes...
Did I ever tell you you play a very irritating game of chess, Mr. Spock?
-- Kirk in 'Where No Man Has Gone Before'
Of all things, a 'god' needs compassion.
--
Kirk in 'Where No Man Has Gone Before'
Leave bigotry in your quarters; there's no room for it on the bridge.
-- Kirk in 'Balance of Terror'
There's only one kind of woman...or man, for that matter. You either believe in yourself or you don't.
-- Kirk in 'Mudd's Women'
You go slow, be gentle. It's no one-way street...you know how you feel and that's all. It's how the girl feels too. Don't press. If the girl feels anything for you at all, you'll know.
-- Kirk in 'Charlie X'
I'll show up at your trial as a character witness...If you think that'll help.
-- Kirk in 'Mudd's Women'
God forgive me.
-- Kirk in 'Where No Man Has Gone Before'
Without freedom of choice there is no creativity. The body dies.
-- Kirk in 'The Return Of The Archons'
We've got to risk implosion. We may explode into the biggest fireball this part of the galaxy has seen, but we've got to take that one in a million chance.
-- Kirk in 'The Naked Time'
One of the advantages of being a Captain is being able to ask for advice without necessarily having to take it.
-- Kirk in 'Dagger of the Mind'
No more blah, blah, blah!
-- Kirk in 'Miri'
Not one hundred percent efficient, of course...but nothing ever is.
-- Kirk in 'Metamorphosis'
Worlds are conquered, galaxies destroyed...but a woman is always a woman.
-- Kirk in 'Conscience of the King'
Our missions are peaceful...not for conquest. When we do battle, it is only because we have no choice.
-- Kirk in 'The Squire of the Gothos'
[War] is instinctive. But the instinct can be fought. We're human beings with the blood of a million savage years on our hands! But we can stop it. We can admit that we're killers...but we're not going to kill...today. That's all it takes! Knowing that we're not going to kill...today!
-- Kirk in 'A Taste Of Armageddon'
Peace or...UTTER DESTRUCTION...it's up to you.
