>>>Klingons themselves value honor, which could be argued is a 
combination of the two (ie., honour is being brave enought to act 
upon one's loyalties) but I think that while Word [Worf] is loyal, he 
is more likely to be brave and play hero to make him 
more "honorfical" (exuse the made up word), than help somebody when 
it could defame himself.<<<

Me:
Worf is loyal, and honorable, he is a True Klingon, and I think that 
if he had to choose between playing the hero and helping someone (of 
course when his help is justifiable and honorable), he would chose 
helping someone. Remember that TNG episode where he discovers 
corruption in the Klingon government and he prefers being dishonored 
rather than plunge his homeworld into a civil war? He was shunned 
from his own society for doing what he considered honorable and 
right. I think that Worf's sense of honor goes beyond being strong, 
and getting medallions. His sense of honor encompasses also doing 
what's right, and not being afraid of being different (he is the only 
Klingon in Starfleet), and getting up and facing his own life rather 
than kill himself (after his injury, that he spent a lot of time 
doing physiotherapy and sulking and ranting and making Alexander (or 
was it Riker? or Picard? damn....) promise to kill him), which would 
have been the "appropriate" Klingon response to being so severely 
injured.

Just my 2 cents as a devoted Star Trek enthusiastic fan (don't like 
the terms "Trekkie" and "Trekker")
