I can't take credit for the answer, but a woman named Maria certainly seems to know what she's talking about... "Failure is not an option" can be translated into Latin as follows: “Adversus exitus optio non est”. In fact ADVERSUS EXITUS means “failure”; OPTIO means ‘option’; NON means ‘not’; EST means ‘is’. As for "Never give up, never surrender", you can say: -“Numquam cede, numquam succumbe” ( if the imperative refers to a 2nd.person singular) -"Numquam cedite, numquam succumbite"( if the imperative refers to a 2nd.person plural). In Latin in fact there is a different ending for the singular / plural, while in English the verb form is the same. Please note that NUMQUAM is 'never';CEDE / CEDITE is 'give up'; SUCCUMBE / SUCCUMBITE is 'surrender'. Besides this translation, that is the adaptation of a Virgil’s line which reads: ”Tu ne cede “ (Aeneid, book VI, line 95), meaning “Do not give up”, there are other ways to translate a negative imperative. Here they are: -“Noli umquam cedere nec umquam succumbere” ( 2nd.person singular) -“Nolite umquam cedere nec umquam succumbere ( 2nd.person plural). Please note that the imperatives NOLI /NOLITE derive from NOLO (I do not want) which is a negative verb and therefore the adverb NUMQUAM becomes UMQUAM. Therefore NOLI/NOLITE CEDERE is 'give up'; UMQUAM is 'never'; NOLI/NOLITE SUCCUMBERE is 'surrender'. Also: -“Numquam cesseris nec umquam succubueris” ( 2nd.person singular). -“Numquam cesseritis nec umquam succubueritis”(2nd.person plural). Note that NUMQUAM is 'never'; CESSERIS/CESSERITIS is 'give up'; SUCCUBUERIS / SUCCUBUERITIS is 'surrender'. All the above translations are correct, of course.
