nuq 'oH rep'e'? nuq jatlh tlhaqlIj? nuq cha' tlhaqlIj?
Or, you could be more direct:
tlhaqlIj chonob pagh qaHoH.
After all, give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man
to fish and he eats for a lifetime. Tell a Klingon the time and
he knows the time for a minute. Give a Klingon a watch and he
knows the time until the battery runs out.
Moral of the story:
tlhaqlIj: 'oH Daghajbe' juHvo' yIghoSQo'.
"Your watch: Don't leave home without it."
