Question
I was wondering if you could translate these phrases for me.
"Always be true to yourself"
"Regretting something you havent done is worse than regretting something you have"
Thanks Jack

Answer
Hello,

“Always be true to yourself” can be translated into Latin three ways:

1-“Tibi ipsi semper consta”

2-“Tuam semper naturam sequere”

3-”Numquam a te descisce”

As for “Regretting something you haven't done is worse than regretting something you have", here's its translation:

“Quod non fecisti desiderare  peius est quam desiderare quod fecisti »

Best regards
Maria
