[Tlhingan-hol] "Kindness is Magic"

[Fiat Knox]

Both are exceedingly hard words to translate conceptually.

{qa' HoS ghajlu'ghach 'oH vaQHa'lu'ghach'e'} perhaps?

If it grates, it's the concepts that are grating, not the grammar. "Kindness" is not generally considered a very noble Klingon trait.

At least I didn't respond with the phrase {tera'ngan Dap} because that would have insulted him.
