It doesn't matter how low the fall is, but how high the rebound is

[Dskillz]

Hi. Please i need help with a translation for a tattoo. This is the phrase:

"It doesn't matter how low the fall is, but how high the rebound is"

If any professional or someone who knows can help me, I will be very grateful.

Hi,

I would suggest:

Non refert quam humiliter cadatur, sed quam alte resiliatur.

 

[Matthaeus]

Impersonal passives to keep it objective, right?
Someone change the thread title.

Impersonal passives to keep it objective, right?

What do you mean by objective?

Someone change the thread title.

Done.

 

[Matthaeus]

Oh, just wanted to make sure that you used the impersonal passive as no personal subject was mentioned in the OP.

 

[Pacifica]

Ah, then yes.

 

[Matthaeus]

Cool.

This sounded tantalizingly familiar, and finally I remembered where I'd seen something like it before -- Thyestes: magis unde cadas quam quo refert.

Not quite the same sentiment, but the same sort of idea at any rate.

As for myself, it reminded me of Cicero's non recordor unde ceciderim sed unde surrexerim.
