mortui vivos docebunt
Hello!
It's "mortui vivos docebunt" or "vivos mortui docebunt", depends on what word you want to emphatize (the dead or the living).
Mortui: nom. plur. (the dead men)
Docebunt: Will teach (3rd plural present indicative)
Vivos: acc. plur. (the living), direct object
Hope this helps!
