Usage for ghob
pop 'oH ghob'e'.
Virtue is the reward.
Type: proverb - Source: TKW p.47
latlh De'/Additional Information
The Klingon word "{pop}" ("reward") could refer to compensation or a prize of some sort, but it also means "honor" in the sense of recognition for a particular achievement or set of achievements. This proverb does not mean "Virtue is honor." The use of the word "{pop}" suggests that virtue is the honor bestowed as a result of acting in a manner respectful of society's values, not simply advocating them.
batlh ghob yIpab.
Adhere to virtue honorably.
Type: proverb - Source: TKW p.47
latlh De'/Additional Information
This maxim, one of several about virtue itself, illustrates the importance of virtue in Klingon society. Not only should one be virtuous ("adhere to virtue"), that is, behave in a way Klingons consider morally righteous, one should take care to honor and respect those values. In other words, one should not merely endorse the values of the society, one should fully embrace their spirit and meaning. The Klingon verb in the expression, "{pab}," is here translated "adhere," bit it is also used to mean "follow," in the sense of following rules, suggesting perhaps that, though not offi- cially laws, virtues should be followed as if they were.
ghob tIvnISbe'lu'.
One need not enjoy virtue.
Type: proverb - Source: TKW p.48
latlh De'/Additional Information
Since, as noted earlier, Klingons find pleasure nonessential, it is not surprising to find virtue described as some- thing that is not enjoyable. On the other hand, this aphorism does not say that virtue is never enjoyable, only that it is not necessarily so. The Klingon construction {tInISbe'} means "does not need to enjoy"; {tIbe'nIS} would mean "needs to not enjoy," an utterly different concept. Leading a virtuous life may well be enjoyable, but if it is not, or if it is not always, it should still be done.
In war, there is nothing more honorable than victory.
