I have a design i have been working up for the past couple years and the graphic is complete. It is a skull with 3 roses and a banner underneath. It represents a couple things to me and i need a good shorter quote to match my feelings. im just not very good with words! lol

meanings...

-Only some things last forever. which is me my brother and mother the three roses.

-The skull represents most things dont last and will someday be gone. but the roses are lilke the new begining.

any one have ideas?

i was thinking like "Few things last eternally" The end quote will be in latin and im also not sure how to be 100% it is correctly translated when i find it?

Thanks for any help!

"All that is gold does not glitter."
"Not all those who wander are lost"
"The old that is strong does not wither,
"Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
"From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
"A light from the shadows shall spring;
"Renenwed shall be blade that was broken,
"The crownless again shall be king.”

~J.R.Tolkien

Non omne aurum coruscat,
Non omnes vagantes deerrant;
Vetera fortia non marcescent,
Radices profundae gelu non attinguntur.
Ex cineribus ignis excitabitur,
Ex tenebris saliet lux;
Lamina fracta reficietur,
Ille sine corona iterum rex erit.


You can try these...with Latin translation..

"The richest man is not he who has the most but he who needs the least."

"In memory we immortal stand."

Or some variation there of. Sort of says memories are the way to make things last forever and implies the opposite of the things we leave behind and forget.

How about:

"Everything changes, nothing perishes."

( Omnia mutantur nihil interit)

There is nothing that will stay as it is forever. It will always change.

my tattoo has a similar meaning. I have been researching a new one. I like this quote " I never walk alone" and "with every ending is a new beginning" ..."Our body is light, We are immortal. Our body is love, We are eternal.'

"Every ending leads to a new beginning".
