Subject: RE: Help: Latin phrase?
Deposuit potentes de sede, et exaltavit humiles - This idea is often expressed in both testaments, here it is from the "Magnificat" (St. Mary's Praise). Gospel acc. to St. Luke, I, 52.

Sine audacia, sine laude: Gloria fits well, but it sometimes has a bad odour as in the title "Miles Gloriosus". When constructed with "nihil" (or the shorter form "nil" = nothing) the genitive is requested: Nil audaciae, nil gloriae.
