Can someone please translate this quote into Chinese symbols for me please :)

[Rebeccarobxxx]

The quote is:

 

do good and good will come to you 

 

thanks in advance for anyone that can help out! 

[Demonic_Duck]

Chinese characters aren't "symbols", except in the very loose sense that "ABC" are also symbols. They're a full-fledged script.

 

Anyway, here's an idiomatic translation:

 

行善之人，總有善緣

 

If you're planning to get a tattoo, you really want to find a tattoo artist who knows something about Chinese calligraphy, otherwise you're likely to end up with an ugly font (best case) or completely illegible writing (worst case).

[Lu]

Or perhaps 善有善報.

There's also the less formal 好人有好报. Lu's is probably better for display purposes.

I feel like I've also heard 好事有好报， every good deed has its reward.  Makes me wonder what the Chinese equivalent of the more cynical "no good deed goes unpunished" might be...

I asked a native and they said 好心没好报. The translation given in Pleco is "get no thanks for one's good intentions".

They also said this is their favourite of the translations given for hanging on your wall at home. If it's for a tattoo on your arm it's too long, so go with 善有善报.

to add to @NanJingDongLu's 好心没好报, i'm used to hearing 好人無好報 and this is a not-so-wonderful example of how that can manifest (the first video):
