YOU SAID:
greatness is nothing if it be not lasting
INTO JAPANESE
それが長続きしないのであれば偉大さは何もない
BACK INTO ENGLISH
There is nothing great about it if it doesn't last long
INTO JAPANESE
それが長続きしなければそれについてすばらしい何もありません
BACK INTO ENGLISH
There is nothing great about it unless it lasts
INTO JAPANESE
それが持続しない限りそれについて素晴らしい何もありません
BACK INTO ENGLISH
There is nothing great about it unless it lasts
That didn't even make that much sense in English.
