Better to die on our feet than live on our knees.

Type: proverb - Source: TKW

latlh De'/Additional Information

More literally, this is "Dying while standing is preferable to living while kneeling." The grammatical construction is a bit aberrant; one would expect "{QamtaHvIS}" ("while continuing to stand") and "{tortaHvIS}" (while continuing to kneel"). I proverbs, however, grammatical shortcuts are not uncommon. Even the Federation Standard might be considered somewhat incomplete. One would expect " better to die on our feet that live on our knees." Klingon Chancellor Azetbur said she believed that the Empire was on the verge of becoming "obsolete." Because the destruction of the moon Praxis had devastated the main energy production facility for the Empire. She argued that the Klingon had no choice but to engage in peace talks with the Federation. Her military advisor, Brigadier Kerla, disagreed, citing this maxim to express his opinion.

In war, there is nothing more honorable than victory.
