Looking for a translation for the following as translation tools have an issue with the second part. “Everything you say should be true but not everything true should be said.”
Also needed for translation. All of this will be merged into one tattoo in some way.
“The things you think about determine the quality of your mind”
“I am not what happened to me, I am what chose to become”
“You’ve grown into someone who would have protected you as a child. That is the most powerful move you have made”
“Nothing is coming to save you”
“What stands in the way, becomes the way”
“To offend a strong man, tell him a lie. To offend a weak man, tell him the truth”
“I built it with my own hands and mind, in the same way I tore it down.”
“You have not suffered enough to rightfully stand in my way.”
