Type: proverb - Source: TKW p.91
latlh De'/Additional Information

This maxim also appears in other guises, depending on what it is a Klingon does not run from. The general meaning of all of them is that Klingons do not flee; they do not abdicate their responsibilities or avoid the consequences of their actions. For example, when Worf decided to challenge the charge of treason leveled against his father, he knew that he would have to accept the penalty --- death --- if unsuccessful. A Klingon does not run from a judgment against him.

When a warrior goes to battle, he does not abandon his friends.

Type: proverb - Source: TKW p.59
latlh De'/Additional Information
This is an adage about Klingon behavior cited by K'mpec, leader of the Klingon High Council, when he revealed to Picard that he had been poisoned. Worf took it one step further, assuming that, since no Klingon would behave in such a dishonorable fashion, the assassination could not have been carried out by a Klingon. "A Klingon would not use poison," he stated. "The murder would have no honor."
