My previous message to De'vID:
____________________
Gonna give a few of those a try, just to get the conversation going:
"nature abhors a vacuum"
One's best bet may be to think of a different metaphor, but anyway:
'u'Daq chImchugh wa' Daq tebbejlI' 'u' - If an area is empty in the univers=
e, the universe is definitely working on filling it
'u'Daq chenDI' paghna' chenHa'choHmoH 'u' - As soon as a true nothingness f=
orms in the universe, the universe begins to deconstruct it
Daq chIm lajQo' 'u' - The universe rejects empty places
chImchu'bogh logh lajQo' 'u' - The universe rejects truly empty space
'u'Daq chImchu' vay' net chaw'be' - Nothing in the universe may be empty
Turning points in history:
In paq'batlh, one finds the phrase SaD law' San chenmoH qeylIS.
If destiny can be chenmoH:ed, then probably so can history.
qun luchenmoHbogh wanI''a'mey'e' - great events which have formed history
[choHbogh may also work, but I figure that in an era where time travel is p=
ossible, this may be misinterpreted]
So, the whole thing would be something like:
History is replete with turning points, Lieutenant. You must have faith.
la' pIj qaS qun luchenmoHbogh wanI''a'mey'e'. ngoDvam yIvoq.
Another alternative is:
reH chentaH San. ngoDvam yIvoq.
{Destiny is always forming. Have faith in this fact!}
"That the universe will unfold as it should."
Damn... That's tough.
chenchu'meH chenbejlI' 'u'. {The universe is definitely forming towards the=
goal of forming completely.}
...but I suppose Spock means "as it should" as in "in order to be preferabl=
e", so one might go with:
qaqmeH chenlI' 'u'. {The universe is taking form in order to be preferable.=
}
...though that does feel very weird.
QaQbej 'u' San. {The universe's destiny is definitely good.}
Highly illogical, but of course...
"logic is the beginning of wisdom"
meq tu'DI' vay' valchoH 'a wej valchu'. - When one discovers logic, one beg=
ins to be wise, but one is not yet perfectly wise.

ideas: "nature abhors a vacuum", "turning points in history", "the universe=
