I think it was Q who said, "Ah, Mr. Worf. Eat a good book lately?"

I liked his quip to Riker: “I liked you better without the beard.”
That episode is a treasure trove. "I'm not good in groups. It's difficult to work in a group when you're omnipotent."
Definitely a t-shirt ready quote.
But that was just Q's ad hominem response to an even better exchange: Q: What must I do to convince you people (that he is mortal and without powers) Worf: die.
Sorry I know you said "not epic" but most things Worf says are epic.
It's Dorn's delivery. He and Stewart could make any of their lines sound epic, no matter how cheesy the episode was

"Good tea. Nice house." - the endlessly quotable Lt. Worf
I am Worf, son of Mogh, House of Martok, son of Sergei, House of Rozhenko, Bane to the Duras Family, slayer of Gowron. I have made some chamomile tea. Do you take sugar?
You broke your little ships.
-Lilly, First Contact
After an impassioned and (IMO) epic bit of dialogue from Picard, this little disarming line hits me so hard. Just wanna give him a hug.
Yes! I think taken on its own, it comes across as a not-epic quote. But, as the finish to a tremendous demonstration by two amazingly talented actors, it's so emotionally hard-hitting.

"I swore I would never use one of these. Computer, activate the emergency medical hologram."
"State the nature of the medical emergency."
"A dozen Borg are about to pound through that bulkhead. I need you to buy us some time."
"Starfleet medical records indicate that Borg implants cause substantial discomfort. Can I offer you an analgesic?"
Robert Picardo lobbied so hard for that cameo!

"Ugly bags of mostly water", S1E18 TNG, Home Soil
I love how fed up Damar gets by the end of the war lol
"Well hellooo!"
@exscape @Nmyownworld
:) thats funny when you know that worf killed the clone before him and that Vorta can remember that because of genetic memory something XD
"Give me warp! In the factor of 5, 6, 7, 8!"
Followed by Troi's exasperated "Oh, Jazz."
I know you said not epic but I can't resist adding "FLY HER APART THEN!" Epic bit also touching, showing how far Sulu would go for his friends.
Less epic but certainly one of my favourites: a few minutes after Captain Sulu says "Fly her apart, then!", Bones saying "I'd give real money if he'd shut up." as Chang recites miscellaneous Shakespeare quotes.

"On Cardassia, the verdict is always known before the trial begins."
“Death to the opposition!”
I got to use "There be whales here!" in the context of being on a whale watching tour, and only getting to see one as we were heading back, having given up seeing any.
It might be my life's greatest achievement.
"Fun will now commence."
The final line in tng s4e2 "family".
Marie: "It's getting late." Robert Picard: "Yes, but let him dream."
Unfortunately not, there's only room in my brain for one Star Trek quote, and it's epic-as-fuck (so epic I used it in a track and it's one of my most popular in that tiny little sub-of-a-sub-genre). The conversation between Q and Riker:
Q: Yes, the human compulsion. It is a power which will grow stronger century after century, aeon after aeon. RIKER: Aeons. Have you any idea how far we'll advance?
Q: Perhaps in a future that you cannot yet conceive, even beyond us
Riker "I thought you said you were a pacifist?"
Worf "I did."
A truly great line from "The Ultimate Computer"
M4 to Daystrom: "I am great. You are great. We are both great."
'Computer, more birds'
WORF: "What is a 'Q'?"
YAR: "It's a letter of the alphabet as far as I know"
“You broke your little ships.”
I love how this mocks his display of anger and also the fact that he has little ships to begin with. There’s Picard being all ragey and dramatic and in 5 words she turns him into a little boy.
'it appears that we've lost all sexual attraction'
