    before I get this tattooed on my arm.....

    just COnfirming. Unfortunately I can't ask my Russian speaking parents to provide me with a translation for body art!

    "Breathe. All things must pass" translates to "Дыши. Всё Проходит"


    And there's one more - "From the raging of the sea, still waters..."
    or "After the raging of the sea, still waters..."

    Strictly speaking:
    Всё проходит = Everything passes (away).
    Everything must pass = Всё должно пройти.

    And don't start each word with a capital letter (particularly in tattoo)
    Send me a PM if you need me.

    Here is my attempt only, do NOT tatoo this to your arm

    После бурного моря, тихий океан...

    In Russian, all nationalities and their corresponding languages start with a lower-case letter.
