Vires honorque - Strength and Honor. The '-que' for 'and' would fit be used with a pair of features like these. Also, where physical strength is meant, the plural 'vires' is used in the sense of 'physical powers'.
'Death before dishonor' has been used as a motto before:
Potius mori quam foedari - Better to die than to be dishonored
Malo mori quam foedari - I wish rather to die than to be dishonored.

Strength and Honor": Vis et honor
Another way of saying "Death before dishonor" is:
Mors ante infamia

MathBioMajor is right but after ante you have to put accusative
then you write:
mors ante infamiam
