From Balance of Terror:
"We're standing by to beam your survivors aboard our ship. Prepare to abandon your vessel."
"No - no, that is not our way. I regret that we meet in this way. You and I are of a kind. In a different reality, I could have called you friend."
"What purpose will it serve to die?"
"We are creatures of duty, captain. I have lived my life by it. Just... one more duty... to perform."
-Kirk and the Romulan Commander
"It never makes any sense. We both have to know that there was a reason."
- Kirk to Angela Martine

Picard: Exhausted!

"Risk is our business. That's what this starship is all about. That's why we're aboard her."
-Kirk
I like that one because it sets the tone for much of the behavior we see out of starfleet captains.

Re: Greatest Trek line ever
Going back to what are acknowledged as a couple of the best episodes, as well as on the list of favorite of most Trekfen:
"Let's get the hell out of here"
"What do you know? I fnally got the last word!"
And from one of the movies:
"The more they over think the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain."
