I like to think that Quark wasn't concerned about the war so much as he can't stand watching people practice bad business
-
“Every once in a while, declare peace. It confuses the hell out of your enemies.” -Quark
-
"The Kardashians can't be trusted" This series is cosmological decades ahead of it's time
-
"I am a vulcan my emotional state is irrelevant" "Well I'm a ferengi and my emotional state is very relevant" Honestly best counter to vulcans getting on a high horse regarding emotions lol
-
"I know the Kardashians can't be trusted" He knew, he could see the future, and he warned us... We've failed him...
-
Rule of Acquisition 34: War is good for business... Rule of Acquisition 35: Peace is good for business...
-
“Peace can be bought at a bargain price and you don’t even realize it!” That’s deep and powerful.
-
Oh dear Quark is in such a state that he’s willing to GIVE a copy of the rules instead of selling!
-
Quark had sex with a Klingon, dissed a Vulcan with logic, and regularly outplays humans with his antics, Quark is OP
-
The more we see of ordinary Vulcans, the more we realize that it was actually Spock who was just that awesome.

I like the idea of the Ferengi philosophy being kind of a steelman argument for market capitalism. Sure, they’re as prone as anyone else to being wrong about things and to being sometimes blinded to the pragmatic reality of a situation by their philosophical idealism, but at least the series goes to great lengths to show their philosophy is coherent and mostly arrived at in good faith.

This is so well-written. Especially the sudden humor. "They have weapons, you have weapons (throws up hands) everyone has weapons!"
-
"I am a Vulcan, my emotional state is irrelevant. My eye makeup, on the other hand, is faaaaabulous."
-
Quark is the only person I know who can educate a Klingon about honor and school a Vulcan about logic.
-
This one scene changed the Ferengi in my eyes. The Rules of Acquisition are made to be interpreted to fit any situation. They aren't just greedy money hungry space scammers.

0:38 "Do you propose that YOU lecture ME on logic?" Her subtle tonal cues shows she's losing control of her emotions and thus her emotional state is relevant. Quark knows exactly how to manipulate her by attacking what Vulcans hold most dear to them. Vulcans are just as emotional as anyone else. Possibly even more so.
-
This whole conversation takes place for only one reason ... Quark doesn't sell weapons.
-
"Do you propose to lecture ME on logic?" Pride is an emotional, illogical state.
-
Reminds me of a quote I once heard: "Being logical is not the same as being right or even necessarily smart"
-
Quark, "Let me make it so simple that a Vulcan can understand" All the Romulans: Bow down to Quark
