Respect for all

[Mvirnau]

My family has created a list of Core Values that we live by and I would like to get them translated into Latin. I have done some research, but would like to confirm it is correct. Thank you in advance.

Unconditional Love (Amor Absolutus)
Always Trustworthy (Semper Fidus)
Respect for All (Respiciet Homines)

The first is good.The second is okay, but it has as its referent a masculine thing/person. You might pluralize it so that it refers to all members of the family: Semper Fidi.
The third is wrong. I'm not sure what is best for our modern 'respect'. Aequitas? Decus?

Maybe Aequitas Omnibus (a fairness/levelness to all).

I can’t quite understand what word he is saying, but I did hear him reference”reverence”. Could you confirm the word he is using?

Sorry, I was answering @Glabrigausapes, he asked about the word "respect".

Do you have a recommendation for the phrase “Respect for all”? Thank you

Not yet. I am thinking about observantia in omnes or ad omnes but cannot make up my mind.

Cicero: adhibenda est quaedam reverentia adversus homines

 

[Mvirnau]

Cicero: adhibenda est quaedam reverentia adversus homines

Could you translate that to English please?

 

[Matthaeus]

I'd say "one must show a certain reverence/respect towards men"

 

[Matthaeus]

I have respect for THIS guy!

 

[Mvirnau]

I'd say "one must show a certain reverence/respect towards men"

Thank you, is there a way to shorten that into a few words without changing the meaning?

 

[Mvirnau]

Would “reverentia in omnes” be correct?

 

[Matthaeus]

I'd say yes.

[Michael Zwingli]

respect for all:
respectus ad omnium / ad omnium respectus (?)

Not sure of how, but apparently, respectus, "a looking again"/"a looking back", with ad and object in the genitive can mean "respect for x", or "consideration for x". Note Livy Ab Urbe Condita, 26.1, where ad veteris imperii respectum = "respect for the previous government".

I don't think that's respect in the same sense...reverence/respect for a god of one's understanding is not the same as respect for another person. With the former, there is no equal footing, as there is with the latter. "Reverence" means "timid, fawning respect", more like "awe", and I don't think that's what the OP is going for. Perhaps observantia in omnes would be better? Or, maybe respectus ad omnium?
