Listen to the voice of your blood.

latlh De'/Additional Information

For Klingons, blood is more than just one of a number of red-pink bodily fluids. It represents the animating force of life itself, that which controls basic temperament and character. It is strength. It is the commander, making the decisions and giving the orders. With effort, its influence can be repressed, but never entirely ignored. For a warrior to get in touch with himself, to lead a truly effective life, he must pay attention to, or listen to, what his blood has to say. Though Konmel used the common Federation Standard translation when he tried to get Worf to join him, the Klingon version of this frequently heard exhortation is a bit more pointed. The verb "{Qoy}" means "hear," not just "listen." One must actually perceive and understand that which is being said.

Hear the warrior cry out.

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

Gowron referred to this well-known cry when he said to Worf, "Do you tremble and quake with fear at the approach of combat, hoping to <talk> your way out of a fight like a Human? Or do you hear the cry of the warrior calling you to battle, calling you to glory, like a Klingon? Are you one of us?" Worf later told Picard, "I <do> hear the cry of the warrior."

This exhortation resembles one cited earlier, "Listen to the voice of your blood". The two make the same point, but from different perspectives. To heed the cry of the warrior is to follow the dictates of the society; to listen to the voice of one's blood is to adhere to one's true nature. For Klingons, of course, both lead to the same result: living the life of a warrior.
