panther72003:Is there a way to change the "Ne Timu La Veron" to translate a little more into something like, "No Fear in Truth"? Is that even something that would translate correctly?

Maybe "Timo ne ekzistas en vero"?
Other suggestions:

Neniu timo en (la) vero = No fear in (the) truth
Ne estas timo en (la) vero = There is no fear in (the) truth

Watch out! Zamenhof used "en vero" for "in Wahrheit" and "по правде".
Hence, "Time no ekzistas en vero" means "There is truly no fear."

I am quite positive that you will want to put a definite article before "vero".

Zamenhof used the definite article in front of abstract nouns as one does in German, and which is contrary to the usage in English. For some reason, he translated "The Battle of Life" as "La batalo de l’ vivo".

Abstracta need definite articles in Esperanto.

Panther, he just means use 'la' before vero.
  • Timo ne ekzista en la vero
