Quote:"Honor, Courage, Strength" ... if someone can help me out I would appreciate it. I plan to add it to my signature.Those three nouns translate as decus, virtus, vis. Problem solved, T.J.!
Latin also has the word honos for honour as a kind of "respect", but I'm guessing you mean honour as "glory", which is better translated as decus.
Similarly, for "strength", Latin has fortitudo meaning "firmness" (like our fortitude) and robor meaning "robustness" (like an oak tree, which is the same word), but I'm guessing you mean more of a violent, forceful strength, which is best translated vis.
