Not quite. <noun>mo' means "because of the <noun>", so the above says
something like 'die because of the warrior', 'return because of the
loser'. Also, {-be'} is for negating statements, not imperatives; you
want {-Qo'} to convey "don't".
I think the simplest and most Klingonlike expression of the sentiment
is simply this: yIQap pagh yIHegh! (Succeed or die!)
But you could say something like: SuvwI' yIDa: yIHegh! bIlujchugh yIcheghQo'!
(Behave as a warrior: die! If you fail, do not return!)
However, I think we are now officially *way* off topic for Perl6...
