Translation help

[The-influence]

I have been looking and I can't seem to get a translation for this

" saints have a past " " sinners have a future "

If anyone could help that would be great

Blake , where do those two phrases come from ?

[The-influence]

Oscar Wilde

'every saint has a past while every sinner has a future'
is the manner in which Wilde put it. This may have some effect on the translation.

The full quote is
"The only difference between saints and sinners is that every saint has a past while every sinner has a future. "

I already knew what the full quote was. But this is going to be a tattoo so I don't want the full thing . Second I believe that I should in some small way personalize it instead of pirating the full quote

A translation into what ? Mandarin ? Latin ? Doric ?

[The-influence]

I don't want to state the obvious but if I wanted , Dutch , Chinese , Latin then I think I'd go somewhere that would specialize in them languages ! Since I'm on a Scottish fourm I'm going ta take a guess and say " Scottish gaelic " but hey thanks for trying to make me feel like an idiot ! Glad I joined !
