QISmaS yItIv
Enjoy Christmas!
Type: sentence - Source: Okrand
latlh De'/Additional Information
Talking about Maltz, Okrand said: For "Merry Christmas," he wasn't so sure. He said that perhaps you could use the name of the holiday (which would be QISmaS) and say QISmaS yItIv or QISmaS DatIvjaj and so on. He thought that people who know about Christmas would understand that. He also liked my sister-in-law's suggestion: wornagh yItlhutlh!.
Then you're obviously enjoying it.

Happy New Year
Type: Sentence - Source: Okrand
latlh De'/Additional Information
I Skyped Maltz. He said he has been asked before about "Merry Christmas" and "Happy New Year." He thought they were silly things to say (and, of course, there are no traditional Klingon ways to say these things), but he said that if you have to say "Happy New Year," you could say {DIS chu' yItIv} or {DIS chu' DatIvjaj} or {DIS chu' botIvjaj} or the like.
May you enjoy Christmas!

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.

Type: sentence - Source: Conversational Klingon

In the great battle against Molor.
Type: sentence - Source: paq'batlh: Impact Book
You will offer them a place
Between these walls,
And a feast to their liking.
Type: sentence - Source: paq'batlh: Impact Book
Klingon food is best when served fresh and live. Few humans dare to eat gagh, rokeg blood pie, or heart of targ.
