Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks fine.

I know I'm spoiling it for you, but Plato never wrote that.
Did Plato write "Only the dead have seen the end of war" ?

Corrections are welcome (especially for projects).

Regardless who wrote it, your line seems to say: "the dead have only seen the end of war", which is not quite the same. I think it should be: "Soli mortui finem belli [forsitan bellorum?] viderunt."Boban wrote:Is Plato quote "Only the dead have seen the end of war" in latin "Mortui solum finem belli viderunt"?
