VALOR, VANITY, VIRTUE


Valor; great courage in the face of danger. 
virtute magna temeritate in periculo
 
Vanity excessive pride. 
vanitatem sine superbia
 
Virtue behavior showing high moral standards. 
virtutis ostendens moribus moribus
 
Valor, Vanity, Virtue 
Which of the three 
Is best acceptable to thee? 
Valor, vanitatem virtus 
Quam trium 
Optimum acceptabile, mihique?
 
Valor, Vanity, Virtue 
Which of the three 
Is best acceptable to thee? 
Valor, vanitatem virtus 
Quam trium 
Optimum acceptabile, mihique?
