No one speaks Latin anymore, but some can read and write it.

That's beyond my recollections of college Latin.

Nunquam planto spondeo. Tantum spondeo efficio vestri optimus.

Is this what your translator came up with? It's as close as I can get, hope it helps!

I"m nervous for you, Scottieboy. I'm thinking you should pick a new tattoo direction, or call up your local university professor for assistance. Take them the words Vanishing_Point gave you and have them traslate it back to see if it stands the test

why do you want a tattoo that you can't read, and that 99.99% of the rest of the world can't read either...?

just out of curiosity.

having words tattoo'd on your body is the queerest thing you could possibly do.

"look guys, i'm insightful! i took a quasi-profound statement and put it on my body for the rest of my life!!!"

awaiting the "it was my dead grandpa's favorite line" or some other emotional argument
