What's about the spelling: "amara lento tempora risu" ?
^^ ^^^
In that case, it could mean something like `During hard days with an
imperturbable smile'.

The phrase comes from William Wright, a professor and former Dean of the London Hospital Medical College and he translates the words Amato lento tempera rise, which comes from Horace, as "temper bitter things with a quiet smile".

Don't worry about the spelling, we didn't live during the Latin Empire, so nobody knows their real spelling anyway.

I love that fabulous translation. I used to collect such jewels:

Ex cathedra = former cathedral.
Sic transit gloria mundi = something about Gloria being sick when going through the mountain.

I don't think Latin spelling is a problem but pronunciation is another
thing: "Weeny, weedy, weeky".
