Truth = Veritas. That's easy.

"Will out" is more difficult. A few proposals:

will go out = exibit.
will be found = invenietur.
will be seen = videtur

WHatever fits your rhythm, I guess :)

Hi Raphael ~

Here are a few Latin phrases that might do the trick:

"Veritas numquam perit" -- literally, "Truth never expires." (This seems to be the phrase you're looking for; colloquially one might say, "Truth has no expiration date.")

"Veritas vincit" -- "Truth conquers." (Not quite what you were asking for, but it's catchy.)

"Veritas odit moras" -- "Truth hates delay."

Feel free to shower me with pearls if one of these phrases is what you were looking for.

Yours in Christ,

Waterrock

Hi everyone,

I would tend towards a more metaphorical phrase: aletheia phanesetai! (not sure I picked the right way to say "will be revealed," though).

Blessings,
Lee
