Latin Tattoo: Always Strong

by Josh

Dear Latin Teacher,

I am planning on getting a tattoo soon and I want to make sure that I have the correct Latin when I get it. How would you write "Always Strong"?

Thanks, Josh


Dear Josh,

The simplest Latin phrase for always strong is semper fortis. See a previous post about a similar Latin tattoo.

N.B. Semper fortis is parallel in construction to the famous motto of the US Marine Corps: semper fidelis, or semper fi, meaning always faithful.

Hope this helps, and thanks for asking a Latin teacher.

Sincerely,

John
