I like quotes, let me give an example:
If you push someone hard enough, long enough,
if you corner him, his fear will turn to hate and hate,
a powerful emotion, can be a source of strength.
Don't push me...

I don't know who said this, so I label it 'Anonymous'.
And there's plenty of more where that came from.

Here's a load of other quotes from Garak. You are able to understand most of them. without ever seen DS9.
I marked my favorites!
****** SEASON TWO ************
Julian: A bite on the hand is certainly worth saving a boy’s life, don’t you think?
Garak: I suppose it depends on whose hand… just joking, Doctor. ~ Cardassians
Julian: Before you can be loyal to another, you must be loyal to yourself.
Garak: And who can we thank for those misguided words of wisdom? Sarek, of Vulcan?
Julian: Actually, it was Bashir, of Earth.
Garak: With sentiments like those, you wouldn't last on Cardassia for five seconds.
Julian: Would you? ~ Profit and Loss
Garak: Before I became a tailor, I lived by one simple motto: Never let sentiment get in the way of your work. ~ Profit and Loss
Garak: Doctor, has anyone ever told you that you are an infuriating pest !?!
Julian: Chief O’Brien ALL the tome, and I never pay attention to HIM either! ~ The Wire
Garak: Fishing again, Doctor?
Julian: Assuming you're not a spy...
Garak: Assuming.
Julian: Then maybe you're an outcast.
Garak: Or may be I'm an outcast spy.
Julian: Ah, how could you be both?
Garak: I never said I was either. ~ The Wire
Julian: So what of that you have told me was true?
Garak: All of it!
Julian: Even the lies?
Garak: Especially the lies! ~ The Wire
Garak: Welcome back!
Julian: Why, thank you, Garak. It's good to be back. Business keeping you busy?
Garak: The tailoring business? Or the spy business? (laughs) Joking of course.
Julian: Of course.
******* SEASON THREE ***********
There's an old saying on Cardassia: Enemies make dangerous friends, and I fear the Dominion will make a very dangerous friend indeed. ~ The Search
These are unsettling times for Cardassia. ~ The Search
Computer, Garak access code 1359. ~ Civil Defense
Ironic, isn't it? The only place in the galaxy that still recognizes my access codes is a Bajoran space station. ~ Civil Defense
Garak: I thought you liked mysteries.
Julian: I do, Earth mysteries. […]The enigma stories would be more exciting if the outcome wasn’t always the same – The suspects are always guilty [in Cardassian stories]
Garak: The challenge is finding which suspect did exactly what. ~ Distant Voices
Garak: [To Julian] …and what I find interesting is how your mind ended up casting me the role of the villain! […]To think, after all this time, all our lunches together, you still don’t trust me. There’s hope for you yet, Doctor.
Garak: I don’t know who wants to harm a simple tailor?
Odo: A simple tailor that formerly was an agent of the Obsidian Order ~ Improbable Cause
Sisko: You, Mr. Garak, are no simple tailor.
Garak: [laughs heartily] Oh really, Commander, that's another discussion entirely. ~ Improbable Cause
The truth is usually just an excuse for lack of imagination. ~ Improbable Cause
********* SEASON FOUR ****************
Odo: I didn't know you spoke Klingon.
Garak: Oh, you'd be surprised at the things you can learn when you're doing alterations. ~ The Way of the Warrior
Julian: I can’t believe you’re not pressing charges.
Garak. Constable Odo and Captain Sisko expressed similar concerns but really Doctor, there was no harm done.
Julian: They broke seven of your transverse ribs and fractured your clavicle.
Garak: Ah, but I got off several cutting remarks which no doubt caused serious damage to their egos.
Julian: Garak, this isn’t funny.
Garak: I’m serious Doctor. Thanks to your administrations, I am almost completely healed, but the damage I did to them will last a lifetime. ~ The Way of the Warrior
[To Dukat] You're having trouble keeping the civilians in line? ~ The Way of the Warrior
[To Dukat] I'm afraid that since the fall of the Obsidian Order, Cardassian security isn't what it used to be. ~ The Way of the Warrior
[To Dukat] According to my sources, the Klingon High Council believes that Cardassia has been taken over by the Founders. ~ The Way of the Warrior
[To Dukat] We can stand here all day reminding ourselves just how much we hate each other, but you don't have the time. (Referring to the Klingons preparing to attack)) ~ The Way of the Warrior
Garak: So what do we do now?
Julian: I’m thinking.
Garak: Think faster. ~ Our Man Bashir
Isn't this a rather ostentatious life for a spy? ~ Our Man Bashir
Kiss the girl, get the key. They never taught me that in the Obsidian Order. ~ Our Man Bashir
It's time to face reality, doctor. You're a man who dreams of being a hero because, you know, deep down, you're not. ~ Our Man Bashir
A real intelligence agent has no ego, no conscience, no remorse. Only a sense of professionalism. ~ Our Man Bashir
Garak: Interesting, you saved the day by destroying the world.
Julian: I bet they didn't teach you that in the Obsidian Order. ~ Our Man Bashir
Quark: You weren't always a tailor.
Garak: You're right. I used to be a gardener. Now if you have something you want weeded, you let me know.
Quark: Not something, someone. ~ Body Parts
Where you offer kindness, I offer mystery. Where you offer sympathy, I offer intrigue. Just give me a seat next to Odo's bed, and I promise you I'll conjure up enough innuendos, half-truths and bald-faced lies about my so-called career in the Obsidian Order to keep the Constable distracted for days. If there's one thing Cardassians excel at it's conversation. ~ Broken Link
Come now Mr. Worf, you're a Klingon, don't tell me you'd object to a little genocide in the name of self-defense. ~ Broken Link
Garak: Six months in a holding cell, hum? The thought is unattractive, to say the least.
Odo: Well, if you ask me, Captain Sisko let you off lightly. Sabotage, assaulting a Federation officer, attempting to incite war between the Federation and the Dominion...
Garak: Yes, but my heart was in the right place.
Odo: Humph. ~ Broken Link
******* SEASON FIVE ***********
Garak: Very good, doctor. You've come a long way from the naive young man I met five years ago. You've become distrustful and suspicious. It suits you.
Julian: I had a good teacher. ~ In Purgatory's Shadow
[To Dukat] You do have a lovely daughter [Ziyal]. She must take after her mother. ~ In Purgatory's Shadow
Garak: I think I can be quite an asset to Starfleet. With my extensive experience, I could skip the lower ranks entirely and begin my career as a commander. Maybe you could suggest that in your letter. Tell them you'd be honored to serve under me.
Worf: Do not play games with me. ~ In Purgatory's Shadow
Garak: Mr. Worf, you're no fun at all.
Worf: Good. ~ In Purgatory's Shadow
Lying is a skill like any other, and if you want to maintain a level of excellence, you have to practice constantly. ~ In Purgatory's Shadow
Aren't you Klingons suppose to kill yourselves when you're taken prisoner? ~ In Purgatory's Shadow
Tain was head of the Obsidian Order for 20 years. If he can survive that, he can survive anything. ~ In Purgatory's Shadow
Garak: All your enemies are dead.
Tain: Good. A man shouldn't allow his enemies to outlive him.
Garak: Then you can die happy, unless you still consider me your enemy. ~ In Purgatory's Shadow
Listen, Enabran. All I ask it that, for this moment, let me be your son. ~ In Purgatory's Shadow
Tain: You're not my son.
Garak: Father. Father, you're dying. For once in your life speak the truth. ~ In Purgatory's Shadow
Gentlemen, I don't know about you, but my business is done. ~ In Purgatory's Shadow
I should never have come here. I should let that monster die forgotten and alone. ~ In Purgatory's Shadow
[About Tain] I've done nothing but try to please that man. I let him mould me, let him turn me into a mirror image of himself. And how does he repay me? With exile. But I forgave him. But here, in the end, I thought maybe, just maybe, he could forgive me. ~ In Purgatory's Shadow

ROTFL@Boom! (My thoughts exactly!)
8-4-7-2: You have way too much spare time! Yeah, Garak cracks me up every time, too. Cool sig.
Don't make me kick your bud...

Hey guys, I fully understand your reaction.
But you have to know that I'm very lazy!
I copy pasted everyting from another webpage and only added 2 or 3 quotes of my own, which I thought were missing! Don't think I spent a few houres online typing all this from my memory!
BTW here's another one (no exact quote):
Garak: [after an assassination attempt on him]I seriously doubt, that the Cardassain government wants my death, only because I havn't payed taxes.
“The truth is usually just an excuse for a lack of imagination”
“Lying is a skill like any other, and if you want to maintain a level of excellence, you have to practice constantly”
