Overview
"Revenge is a dish best served cold."-- Klingon proverb
For many years, Klingons have been the premier warriors in the galaxy. Regarded across known space with fear and awe, few beings understand the true depth and greatness of the Klingon culture.
"Four thousand throats may be cut in one night by a running man."
-- Klingon proverb
Noted Klingon language and cultural expert Marc Okrand collects the wisdom of these great warriors, taking proverbs and quotes from some of its greatest thinkers and bringing Klingon philosophy to lesser races across the galaxy.
Synopsis
Marc Okrand, the foremost authority on Klingon language and customs, offers the first distilled collection of proverbs and aphorisms from the most famous warriors in the galaxy. From fierce expressions of character ("A warrior's blood boils before the fire is hot") to enduring nuggets of practical advice ("To find ale, go into a bar"), these 200+ gems of wisdom, each offered in English and Klingon with explanatory notes, bring the rich tradition of Klingon philosophy to all the lesser races who have hitherto struggled in vain to comprehend the greatness of Klingon civilization.Book Details
