Question
can you please translate this quote from Leonardo DA Vinci ( Life well spent is long)  This is very important to me I am Sicilian heritage and I am trying to start a new life and I want this tattoo on my arm for a constant reminder to spend my life well I am also getting carpe diem .


Answer
Sorry, but unfortunately you did not pay attention to what I wrote in my ‘Instructions to Questioner’ which appear on your "Ask a question page”.

There I wrote expressly: "No homework questions please nor TATTOOS....."

In fact I really don't like tattoos and then, as a volunteer expert of a 100% FREE site, I obviously can choose to decline translating any phrase / word for this purpose.

This is the reason why I don’t want to translate this Leonardo da Vinci quote which is obviously a translation from the original Italian text  “La vita bene spesa lunga è”.

Anyway best wishes for your new life!
