Book 1 of 4:  Behind Enemy Lines by John Vornholt (TNG)

Ro Laren: "We can't choose where to die, only how to die."

Ro: "Old habits -- they seem to work."

Gul Ditok: "Experience is always a great profit."

Data (Re: LaForge expression): "If it looks too good to be true, it probably is."

Letharna (quoting a terran): "Absolute power corrupts absolutely."

Shek: "War is good for the black market.  Its chaos, and chaos is always good for those of us who work in the shadows."

Riker: "It doesn't do any good to throw bodies at a problem unless they have the experience to deal with it."

Data (thought): "... war required a level head, good judgment, and the ethereal commodity known as good fortune."

Professor Enrak Grof: "The smaller the black hole, the older it is."

Ro: "Whenever I make plans to have a normal life, things go haywire."

Picard: "... no matter how advanced the races of the galaxy, we still suffer from greed and bloodlust."

Grof: "Most of our greatest achievements are only beginnings, halfway measures until the real thing comes along."

Sam Lavelle: "... you're awfully quick to blame your coworkers for everything that goes wrong, when sometimes it's just a matter of Murphy's law."
Grof: "Murphy Law?  I'm unfamiliar with that concept."
Lavelle: "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong."

Book 3 of 4:  Tunnel Through the Stars by John Vornholt (TNG)

Lavelle: "It's funny what even a small taste of freedom will do to a man."

Picard: "You have acted with honor."
Hasmek: "You mean, I lied with honor."

Captain Jobra (to Riker): "We only play games that have already been played.  Famous games --
Captain Anowon: "There's no dishonor in losing in game which has already been lost."

LaForge: "It's nice to know there are some things which look weird to everyone."

Picard (to Grof): "We all know the value of scientific progress, but that progress cannot come at the cost of a far-reaching civilization which has only sought peace and cooperation."

Picard (to Ro): "Sometimes our search for peace has led us to make mistakes -- to trust people we shouldn't have trusted, to  appease those without honor.  We can undo the past...."

Hasmek: "You can't fight, or do much else, on an empty stomach."

Troi: "I'm a realist.  It does no good to worry, but it often does a lot of good to talk."

Ro: "Talavians have a strong religious beliefs, but that doesn't keep them from cheating you."

Picard: "A captain's job is never done."

Ro: "...   I don't like being told what to do.  It's a problem I have with authority.  -- In the end, you have to answer to yourself and no one else."

Riker: "... no one was truly ready for battle until they experienced it."

Commander Shana Winslow: "In wartime, the absurd becomes the norm."

'Taurik': "To humans, death brings great suffering to the survivors.   They console each other with gestures...."

Picard: "... doing good isn't always good."

Picard (thought): "... so many inventions came during war, when desperation, fear, and hatred fueled the imagination and the will."

Picard (thought): "Anyone who thought a commanding officer had to like every order he gave didn't know much about command."

Picard: "War is about making sacrifices."
