"I Am Klingon. If You Doubt It, A Demonstration Can Be Arranged."
Few would dare to doubt Worf's Klingon heritage. Although he was raised by human parents, Worf is fully committed to Klingon ideals and is ready at every opportunity to defend his honor. In context, Worf is replying to his brother Kurn, who is purposely goading him. Unfortunately, Worf's background makes him a frequent target of ridicule from other Klingons. Despite their poor treatment of him, Worf never becomes embittered against his people. Still, as this quote aptly shows, Worf is always...
"Sir, I Protest! I Am Not A Merry Man!"
The Enterprise crew often find themselves casualties of the ongoing debate between Picard and Q. While no one enjoys Q's mischievous, malevolent, and often dangerous antics, few crew members get as exasperated as Worf does. In this case, his frustration is understandable: Q has cast him as Will Scarlet in a twisted recreation of Robin Hood. The contrast between the bright, lively costume and Worf's stoic demeanor makes the situation even more ridiculous. Even though Worf is not amused, viewer...
"I Am A Graduate Of Starfleet Academy. I Know Many Things."
Worf makes this accurate estimation of his education in an episode of Star Trek: Deep Space 9 after Jadzia Dax expresses surprise that he knows the Ferengi "Rules of Acquisition". Coming from any other character, this might sound like a brag, but in Worf's case, it's merely a statement of fact.

"Yet In All You Say, Where Are The Words Duty, Honor, Loyalty, Without Which A Warrior Is Nothing?"
When two fugitive Klingons are beamed aboard the Enterprise, Worf is initially grateful that he has a chance to spend time with people who share his culture. However, in what will become a recurring theme for his character, he quickly finds that these Klingons do not live up to his ideal of what a true Klingon warrior should be. As this quote emphasizes, duty, honor, and loyalty are more important to Worf than victory. Worf's noble personality makes him a favorite Star Trek: TNG characteramon...
"That Was A Joke. I Get It...It Is Not Funny, But I Get It."
Of Worf's many romantic relationships, his marriage to Jadzia Dax may be the most unexpected. Jadzia is outgoing, expressive, and fun-loving. Worf, on the other hand, is reserved, stoic, and serious. Despite their differences, they develop a strong and loving relationship. Jadzia never gives up in her quest to get Worf to lighten up, but as this quote reveals, Worf has a sense of humor. He just doesn't find his wife funny, and clearly doesn't believe in the concept of the "courtesy laugh".
"Congratulations, You Are Fully Dilated To Ten Centimeters. You May Now Give Birth."
Worf is accustomed to showing his strength in battle, but he has many other skills. He has a chance to demonstrate his prowess as a midwife when a disaster strands him in Ten Forward with Keiko O'Brien, who goes into labor (despite Worf's objections that it is "not a good time"). Related: The 10 Best Quotes From Star Trek's Spock Worf is not often used as comic relief, but his calm, matter-of-fact way of assisting Keiko provides an amusing contrast to Keiko's increasingly agitated responses....
"You Have Never Seen Death? Then Look, And Always Remember."
Unfortunately, Worf is no stranger to tragedy. Perhaps because he has been through so much, or perhaps because of his Klingon beliefs, he at times comes off as callous and unfeeling. This is particularly evident when his mate, K'Ehleyr is murdered, leaving behind Alexander, the son she has only recently introduced to Worf. When Worf tells young Alexander to look at his mother one last time, it is startling and heartbreaking, but shows how death is viewed in Klingon culture. Although their rel...
"Death To The Opposition!"
Deep Space 9's hilarious baseball-themed episode, "Take Me Out To The Holodeck" is one of Star Trek's best Holodeck episodes. It's no surprise that Worf excels at the physical aspects of the sport, but he hasn't mastered the etiquette or nuances of the game. His above-quoted idea of chatter is more menacing than distracting. He even tells Nog to "find and kill" a Vulcan runner who neglects to touch home plate. Klingon sports must have higher stakes than human ones. Worf's competitive spirit i...
"Only Fools Have No Fear."
Worf is no coward. His bravery in the face of danger and thirst for battle are key elements of his character. However, when Wesley Crusher expresses that Klingon warriors fear nothing, Worf is quick to correct him. Worf recognizes that courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the willingness to battle it and come out victorious. Worf has faced and continues to face his fears, and he encourages Wesley to do the same. Worf's wise advice makes it clear that he is no fool.
"It Is A Good Day To Die, Duras, And The Day Is Not Yet Over."
This quote would become one of Worf's recurring phrases, and it is a fitting one for his character. Whenever Worf is confronted with a situation that seems dire, he falls back on this philosophy. For him, a battle can only have two outcomes: death, or victory. In Worf's mind, both results are equally honorable. His cowardly and conniving enemy Duras may have greater status and respect in the Klingon Empire, but he lacks honor. None of Duras' threats can intimidate Worf because empowered by hi...

- "Today is a good day to die." Among Klingons, the words "Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam" are readily spoken before going into battle. Roughly translated into "Today is a good day to die," is a testament to the Klingon willingness to give everything they have to the battle ahead, even their life if it is needed.
- "I have slaughtered countless enemies over the years..." When reunited with his old crew during Picard, there was talk about why some of them hadn't exactly kept in touch over the decades that spanned their last encounters.
- I am Klingon. If you doubt it, a demonstration can be arranged. Because Worf was raised by humans and his father Mogh was considered a traitor by his own people, he faced a lot of ridicule when it came to Klingons.
- "Thinking about what you can't control only wastes energy..." Despite his lacking skill as a father, Worf once gave young Wesley Crusher (Wil Wheaton) the best advice imaginable when he fretted over being confronted by his greatest fear for a psych exam.

Oct 5, 2023 · Worf, son of Mogh, stands as one of the most iconic figures in the Star Trek pantheon, a character who embodies the intricate dance between two worlds: the rigid, honor-bound culture of the Klingon Empire and the idealistic, exploratory nature of the Federation.
This is a great Worf quote: Major Kira Nerys: What do Klingons dream about? Worf: Things that would send cold chills down your spine, and wake you in the middle of the night. It is better you do not know. Excuse me.
