Thank you, qfwfq. Are you fairly certain of this translation? My wife and I are going to get a plaque made that features this phrase as an inscription. Thank you!

Yeah, this one is grammatically simple, and I also double-checked everything I had even the slightest doubts about in my UBERDICTIONARY, so I would definitely say I'm "fairly certain."

Always nice to have a second opinion, though...one tends to be a lousy proofreeder of one's own work.
