Miller (Mueller) Family Motto:

Virtute ingenioque valemus.

virtue and intelligence are our strength virtute = virtue ingenioque = and intelligence (que is 'and' - latin often puts 'and' at the end of a word) valemus = is a verb, and literally means 'we are strong' a more literal translation would be: We are strong in virtue and intelligence.
