Question
Seeing as my last motto was wrong, I'm sure the others are as well.

Semper Fidelis Ut Populus - Always Fiathful/Loyal to the People

Velox, Dolosus, Letalis - Quick, Sly, Deadly

Fortis Tamen Summissus - Strong yet Gentle

Also what would, Inest Clementia Forti translate to; either as a centence or list of words.

Answer
Hello Pat,

Here are the correct Latin phrases:

1-“Semper Populo Fidelis”  
(Always Faithful/Loyal to the People).
Note that POPULO is in the dative, while UT must be cancelled as it makes no sense in this context.

2-“Velox, Callidus, Implacabilis”  
(Quick, Sly, Deadly)

3-“Fortis Sed Affabilis “
(Strong yet Gentle)

4-“Inest Clementia Forti“
(Mercy is inherent in the brave).
In short this motto means that the brave is merciful.

Best,
Maria
