And yes, your translation would be one way of expressing this.

what doesnt kill you makes you stronger

Hello everyone - thank you for reading my post. A brief decription of my request is that i am looking for a tattoo on my wrist as a symbol of determination to be as successful as possible in life.

I have have researched pages and pages of quotes and not quite found what i am looking for.

i like phrases along the lines of "what doesnt kill you makes you stronger" , and i like the line "to the stars through difficulties"

Does any one know of good latin quotes which are similar?

Many thanks,

hi - thanks for your response, that is very useful to me,

I am sightly leaning towards the "to the stars through difficulties", as it possibly means more to me, plus it seems a rarer tattoo.

does anyone have any latin quotes similar to "Ad Astra Per Aspera" ???

thanks

I've been after a the specific quote: " What does not destroy/kill me, strengthens me." Aware that there are many different ways in which to say this, I've narrowed it down to Interfecio and Corroboro as the main verbs. Is it better to say: Quod me non...or Quod non me? Is this final sentence correct? "Quod me non interfecit, me corroborat"

Cheers,
I appreciate any input.

 

[Fulgor Laculus]

"Quod me non interfecit, me corroborat" is good, meaning "what did not kill me, makes me stronger". For the present tense use "Quod me non interficit, me corroborat".

This issue has been covered in depth. See:

What does not kill me makes me stronger

Can u please traslate me this phrase to latin,it´s very imaportant to be grammatical correct!!!

˝ what does not kill me makes me stronger ˝

This has been discussed to an extreme extent here. I would recommend going to the search feature at the top of the page, setting the forum section to English to Latin Translation, and typing in "what doesn't kill me" as the forum section. I would've searched for you, but this forum doesn't exactly allow you to link search results. I'd recommend doing some fairly thorough reading, as there has been a fair bit of controversy on this one.

 

[NIA]

ok,but I can´t find , is it corect ;

quod non me interficit me confirmat

or

quod non me interfecit me confirmat

pay attention on word interfecit/interficit?!

 

[QMF]

It would be interficit. I'd keep looking until you find your personal preference however, as there are many possibilities that have been addressed.

 

[NIA]

one more question ...

is it corretly quod non me interficit me confirmat

or

quod me non interficit me confirmat

or is it the same?

thank u very very much!!

 

[QMF]

The difference is purely semantic; both are options.

 

[NIA]

Just one more and that´s it ... I promise ..
can you please translate me this two words literally ...interficit and confirmat . And maybe give me some better words for kill and stronger?

 

[NIA]

anybody?! please...

Hmm then what is so different about those two, the build up i guess?

Re: What doesn't kill me, Makes me stronger

They use different words for "to kill" and the second one uses an adverb ("certe" ~ surely) to emphasise the main clause
