I consulted my trusty Latin-scholar friend, and he writes:

"Fortiter vive; ferociter ama."

If you want it as a general maxim, it might be better in the subjunctive:
"Fortiter vivas; ferociter ames." And it was a tough call for me between
the adverbs "fortiter" and "ferociter" and the adjectives "fortis" and
"ferox"; "Fortis vive; ferox ama" would be more like 'Live as a brave
person; love as a fierce person."

Hope that helps!
