: A warriors best weapons are virture and honor

You might strengthen this to {nIvqu'}.  E.g.:

  bortaS nIvqu' 'oH bortaS'e' 
  Revenge is the best revenge. TKW

  'etlh QorghHa'lu'chugh ragh 'etlh nIvqu' 'ej jejHa'choH 
  Even the best blade will rust and grow dull unless it is
   cared for. TKW

  yIntaHbogh qagh jablu'DI' reH nIvqu' qagh 
  Gagh is always best when served live. TKW

{QaQqu'} also works, though not as well:

  bortaS bIr jablu'DI' reH QaQqu' nay' 
  Revenge is a dish best served cold. TKD

  Heghlu'DI' mobbe'lu'chugh QaQqu' Hegh wanI' 
  Death is an experience best shared. TKW
