What is the latin translation of strength and honor?

What is the latin translation of strength and honor? I'm wanting to get it as part of a tattoo, but want the correct translation and meaning. I want strength to be like courage and inner strength. Thanks.|||Depending on context %26amp; shade of meaning, the following could all render the English 'honor':





honor~ distinction, repute, esteem


fides ~ good faith


honestas ~ honor, what is honorable


dignitas ~ self respect





..and 'strength' could be any of these:





fortitudo ~ courage, fortitude, resolution


constantia ~ firmness, steadfastness, strength of mind


virtus ~ strength, excellence, sum of all that is excellent in a person





Linking the words with 'et' is fine. The use of the suffix -que tends to be either in contrasts or where the words are naturally linked.|||Yeah that is the translation but you might make it prettier by writing:


Fortitudo honorque. or like the Romans would write it: FORTITVDO HONORQVE





But what you have is basically it.
