How do you say "Sons of" in Latin?

"Sons" is Filii.
The "of" is trickier. In Latin you would use the the genitive case, which is like
the possessive case in English. For example, "Sons of Mark" would be
"Filii Marci", where "Marci" is the genitive of "Marcus" (Mark).

How do I translate:
'The Zeros make the Millions'
to latin?
and I have another one:
'Strength is a necessity because there will always be conflict.'
and another:
'Everything is possible. The impossible just takes longer.'
and another:
'Form is temporary. Class is permanent.'
just one more:
'Great minds think alike.'

thanks alot.
George

@nlevhari,
I'll try to address these one at a time.

> 'The Zeros make the Millions'
I don't know how to translate this into Latin.
There is no Latin word for zero (it's an Arabic numeral).
Latin would use "nihil" ("nothing") but that makes no sense in this context.

Back later . . .

Yes.
The Latin version of that is

@George,
If I were to say
'Per valde vox adveho valde officium'
Would that mean
'With great power comes great responsibility'?
And doesn't Practice makes perfect mean this:
'Meditor planto perficio'?

@nlevhari,
Actually both of those mean the same thing:
"Never trust an automated online translator."

Just kidding, of course, but you must have gotten those from such a site.
I'll be back to break them down for you in a little while.

@nlevhari,
I'd say:

Cum magna potestate, magnum officium [venit].

I put 'venit' ('comes') in brackets because I think it is not needed.
