Strength & Love - Latin
There a few possibilities ...for translations using strength & love.
Translation depends on the group that one is directing the expression to....
Here are the simplest, most direct translation(s):
strength & love = vires & amorem
find love = invenire amorem
everything from love = quae ex amore
Hi, Amy!
You could translate "strength" a few different ways in Latin, but one version of "strength and love" would be:
"vires amorque", or
"vires et amor"
(I prefer the rhythm of the first one. It almost sounds like a pun on the opening line of Virgil's Aeneid!)
If "find love" is meant to be a command (like, you're telling someone to go find love), then one translation could be:
"amorem inveni" (if you're talking to one person), or
"amorem invenite" (if you're talking to more than one person)
Finally, for "everything from love", one possibility would be:
"ex amore omnia"
I hope this helps!
PS. If any of this is for a tattoo, please, please, please be sure to double-check everything first! Caveat lector :)

thank you - so interesting and helpful! it is for an engraving. I was curious about Aeneid and found this: “Arma virumque canō, Trōiae quī prīmus ab ōrīs Ītaliam, fātō profugus, Lāvīniaque vēnit lītora, multum ille et terrīs iactātus et altō vī superum saevae memorem Iūnōnis ob īram; multa quoque et bellō passūs, dum conderet urbem, inferretque deōs Latiō, genus unde Latīnum, Albānīque patrēs, atque altae moenia Rōmae.” You are referring to “Arma virumque..”?03/19/21
