Language / "to believe is to see?" - Getting a Tattoo in Polish and Want Proper Grammar! [30]

I like the poem.

I'm going with wierzyc to widziec because I like how it sounds and it means something to me, if it doesn't mean anything or doesn't make sense to anyone else. It's not for others.

Thanks for your help :)

I don't want the tattoo to refer to faith. "To believe is to see" saying applies to every part of my life, not only spiritual beliefs.

Wierzyć to widzieć... I would like to go with it even if it doesn't "make sense" in Polish. It is a saying I like, translating best I can into Polish, but in a way that I like how it sounds or when I think it in my head.

I booked the appointment. It's in 8 days.

Thanks for that response!

I'd like the tattoo to make sense in Polish, an explanation of what I want:

I believe that life is what you believe it is. Example- if you think a person is nice, then they are nice. Or if you believe you have true love, you have true love. For me, it works. If you believe wszystko bedzie dobrze, then everything will be ok. Controlling your thoughts controls your happiness. If you believe you are happy, you are happy.

I liked 'wierzyc to widziec' for the alliteration.. anything else that makes more sense in Polish, means what I want it to, sounds pretty? :P

Thanks for the help! "Wierzyć to widzieć" it is.

The tattoo is for myself :)

Hello,

I am 24 years old, live in Canada, my parents were born and raised in Poland. I lived and worked in Poland for 7 months from 2010-2011. When I arrived I remembered little of my original first language, after the 7 months I could carry a decent conversation, most important I became close with my family in South Western Poland.

Since then my life attitude has changed. When I was 20 I made a bucket list, #13 is to get a tattoo that means something to me. I've figured out what I want, the saying "to believe is to see" in Polish. Two of my cousins said it would be "wierzyc to widac", they asked for me to confirm to be sure.

Can people confirm? Is "wierzyc to widac" the best Polish translation of "to believe is to see?"

Nope I mean once you believe it, you'll see it. It's not meant to be religious.
