Type: proverb - Source: TKW

latlh De'/Additional Information
This is the strongest expression of joy among Klingons and probably the most frequently heard Klingon phrase. It is used not only in the throes of battle but on any other joyous occasion as well. When Kahless the Unforgettable, who united the Klingon Empire, was cloned years later, the replica retained the ancient Klingon attitudes. He said to Gowron, the leader of the Klingon High Council, "You have no joy, Gowron. Is your heart so filled with distrust and suspicion that you have forgotten what it is to be truly Klingon?"
