Hi,
I'm looking into getting my first (and probably only) tattoo. I'd like the words "Endure", or perhaps "One must endure" to be inscribed somewhere in it -- as in, to withstand and survive life, or in the latter, like Hemingway's motto: "First, one must endure to survive."
I'd like those words to be in Latin, though. I obviously don't know any Latin, but the tattoo is important to me and if I'm getting something permanent written on my skin I'd like it to be correct. I've been told the following would be best:
Obdura for "Endure"
Oportet obdurare for "One must endure"
Patiendum Est for "One must endure"
Which of the above are correct? Which would you advise? Any other options..?
Thank you!
