Handy Latin Phrases.

[CombatWombat51]

I like a lot of the "latin" that shows up now and then in Discworld books. Like the motto of the Ankh-Morpork Watch, "FABRICATI DIEM, PVNC"

I believe it's the assassin's guild that has the motto "nil mortifi sine lucre".

Disclaimer: Those who are quick to jump on us non Latin speakers, note that I know no Latin to speak of, and that is a quote.

I have a quick question for you latin buffs. How would you write:

"The price of glory is measured in a currency of blood and death."

Or something reasonably close to that.


Thanks in advance for the hand.

 

[Hypersmurf]

"The price of glory is measured in a currency of blood and death."

Something like:

pretium gloriae in moneta sanguinis necisque computaratur.

-Hyp.
