Over the years as I've watched the various Star Trek movies and series, I've come across several ancient and non-ancient proverbs that have been given new life within the scripts of the Star Trek Legacy.
- Revenge is a dish best served cold. - Spoken by Khan in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan Followed by another great Klingon proverb: - Four thousand throats may be cut in one night by a running man. - Spoken by the great Klingon Warrior Kang in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's episode Blood Oath On to a wise piece of advice from the teachings of Sun Tzu told in the Art of War: - He will Triumph who knows when to fight and when not to fight. - Spoken by the Guardian in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode The Last Outpost Another great Klingon proverb: - Today is a good day to die. - From various episodes of Star Trek: TNG, Star Trek: DS9 and Star Trek: Voyager And finally my all-time favourite Star Trek proverb... from the movie Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, the great "Vulcan" proverb: - Only Nixon can go to China! - Spoken by Captain Spock Trivia Question and last week's answer: Question: To whom did Spock say the above proverb in the Undiscovered Country? Answer: Who played Commander William Decker in Star Trek: The Motion Picture? Decker was played by Stephen Collins. Go To Page: 1
