Please help if you are a perfect translator!

I am getting a vertical tattoo along my spine of chinese symbols.

The quotes I am looking to translate are

"love never fails" or "true love never fails"

and

"without struggle there is no progress" or "without struggle no progress"

If you are 100% positive on how to translate these PLEASEEE help me! Please, also, if these will not make sense or something is wrong let me know because I don't want to mess it up!

Thank you so much for your time!

How about "天长地久" or “地久天长” or "一生一世"？

The Second ：“阳光总在风雨后”　or “宝剑锋从磨砺出” or “梅花香自苦寒来“ or ”十年磨剑“

Please read this post before you decide to get a tattoo in Chinese characters.

Hello,

IMHO you should think very carefully before committing to such a permanent thing. If you want to spread your message to other people, do you think the majority of the the people who will see it will understand it in chinese?. If not, what's the point. Chinese characters do not have any kind of "magic" or enhanced meanings.

Do it in your own language then people will be able to read it. Chose a nice fancy font and it will still be decoritive but also understandable.

Tattoos - think once, think twice, then think some more:)

Good luck

Shelley

For "without struggle there is no progress" you could say 不勞無獲 but I don't think it's a very positive sentence. personally I like 不勞而獲 more which is not what you are looking for
