English term or phrase: Force no friend, Fear no foe
force no friend as in "force no one to comply friendship" fear no foe as in "fear no enemies". I bet little sayings are tricky to translate, make the best out of it if possible. as long as the tanslation means the same i'm happy. if you can give a brief description of what the Irsh Gaelic words mean (should they be different than above) and a basic way to pronounce the words. many thanks!
