I m not sure about the first phrase...it s been a long time since I took Latin in high school. However, in regards to the second phrase, I m about 99% certain that it s NOT Latin. It looks more like Celtic (Scottish), or Gaelic (Irish), or Cymric (Welsh).
 
 
 Hmmm...from the translations that Cadeuses put there, I m guessing that the first means something like " Virtue heals/renews all wounds"  or something like that. In Latin, sentence structure is determined by the word endings rather than their position in the sentence. From what little I remember, I think " virtus"  is the subject, " virescit"  is the verb, and " vulnere"  is the object.

Srioghal mo dhream

 Just my two cents but that looks more Celtic than latin and this is what I ve found on the net:
 " Srioghal mo dhream"  and " een do and spair nocht"  
 are two mottos, one much older than the other attributed to ancient celtic royalty. The older motto is ?Een do and spair nocht,?. It is said to have been given to the MacGregors in the twelth century by the king of Scotland. The story goes... the king was hunting and was attacked by a wild boar, when Sir Malcolm MacGregor, of Glenorchy, asked permission to help. ?Een do,? said the king, ?and spair nocht.? Malcolm used an oak sapling to despatch the boar. For this defence the king gave Sir Malcolm permission to use the motto, and, in place of a Scotch fir, to adopt for a crest an oak-tree.
 The later motto dates from 1801 when Sir John Murray MacGregor obtained permission to change the motto to  S rioghal mo dhream or Royal is my Race
 
 Virescit vulnere virtus  belongs to the house of Stewart.  The Stewart clan motto Virescit vulnere virtus translates from latin as: A wound brings in the courage.
 
 IF those are your family lines - you come from a proud and awesome clan!
