latlh De'/Additional Information

Kurn, wanted to join the rebellion against Gowron, who was about to be installed as leader of the Klingon High Council. Gowron refused to overturn Worf's discommendation, the penalty of banishment and public disgrace accepted by the lieutenant commander after his unsuccessful challenge to the charge that his father was a traitor. Worf felt that Gowron was the only rightful leader of the Klingons and told his brother to support Gowron. "We can/ not regain honor by acting dishonorably," he said. Later, Kurn's intervention helped to turn away an attach on Gowron by followers of the family of Duras. To reward them, Gowron, now the leader of the Council, restored their family honor.

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."
