We gave him what he wanted. We made him a solid. He is one of you now. Oh, poor Odo. Perhaps we should have killed you. It would have been far less cruel. He’s yours. Take him and go. ibid. Founder to Sisko, with Bashir

Odo: One has to find something to do with one’s time. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine s5e1: Apocalypse Rising

But you’re not like any Klington I’ve met. What happened to you, Worf? You’re a paragon of Klington honour and discipline. But when it comes to the Klingon passion for life, exuberance, the enjoyment of the moment, you are constantly holding yourself back. Why? ibid. Dax
I thought the Bajorans would be grateful to hear someone provide them with an opposing philosophical view. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine s5e8: Things Past, Garak

Garak: It’s only a hobby. ibid.
This is the fourth assassination attempt I’ve survived. ibid. Gul Dukat to Dax
