Mi frase/my sentence:

You should not believe everything that you have been told because not even your mother can be right all the time.

No debes creer todo lo que te han dicho porque ni siquiera tu madre puede tener razón todo el tiempo.

Right when everything seems to be total chaos, chaos shall become a part of the game of dialectics and bring order upon itself.

Justo cuando todo parece un caos total, el caos se hará parte del juego de la dialéctica y se impondrá orden a sí mismo.

Hice todo posible para él, pero ni siquiera, se fue.

Better version, thanks to Diagonx: Hice todo lo posible por él, pero igual se fue. Gracias, Diagonx!

I did everything possible for him, but he left anyway.

Everything that goes up, must eventually come down.

Todos que ascenderan, deben finalmente descender.

Todo lo que sube tiene que bajar.

When a person acts like they know everything, they are called a know-it-all. When a person actually knows everything, they are called a wise person.

Cuando una persona actúa como sabe todo, se llaman un sabe todo. Cuando una person sabe todo en actual, se laman una sabia.

Hii beth, indeed: welcome, but as this is supposed to be one of the many challenges in making up Spanish and English sentences, we would love to have the Spanish equivalent of your sentence as well. I agree that there's a lot of beauty under the sun!!! - mcl020, Feb 10, 2013
