Rooster,
Don't take his word for it.

Thank you guys... thanks to both of you for taking the time.
"Haud Indulgeo" is what I found in another translation site, but having taken Latin for five years (many moons ago), it still doesn't sound right. Recently a college level Latin scholar gave me a translation which was something like "nolo excussare"... but I lost it and she is now gone.
I will keep looking, no offense to you, ironclad04.

Thanks a million

There's no "haud" in Latin.

This was asked on Yahoo! Answers with this answer: "nullae excusationes" but I sure wouldn't take that to the bank.

Had a little trouble posting, eh? ;)
5 years? Maybe you could help us out here! Or maybe refer someone who can? There's a lot of demand for English to Latin, specially for short motto-type phrases.

roosterf106 · Jul 14, 2009, 08:03 AM

5 years, as in the 1960's. I would not put any credibility in anything I translated now... 40 years later.
Don't know why my last posting went through, like... five times. Strange.

"nullae excusationes" looks really close to what some gave me a few years ago.

Thanks a million.

Erum.. hahaha

These three words mean no or can be taken to mean 'negative' ,or, 'not', or, 'to refuse', 'to nullify' Neg/Ne/Non Though to be honest Latin has no true word for no, so like most Latin you have to change it a bit for English.

Sorry for the partial answer, I retained almost nothing from my Latin classes, but the smaller words I can still do.
