Correction:
Nil Nisi Verum
2007-11-09 09:27:30 · update #1
Translates to : Nothing if not verdum.
'Verdum' is not a word in Latin, and must be someting else. Add the correct info if you can determine what it should be.
ADDED:
De Vivis Nil Nisi Verum De Mortius Nil Nisi Bonum - Translated as: 'Speak only truth of the living and good of the dead.'
This is the motto of the Hyde family - and has been used in many other contexts. The 'nil nisi verum' part, as a stand-alone phrase is 'nothing if not the truth' or 'nothing but the truth'

Do you mean nihil nisi virtus? Nothing but virtue...
Check the spelling and I will look again.
