English term or phrase: "All is fair in love and war"
First off, I would like to get this quote translated into Latin, for a tattoo. I attempted to use a free translator and cross referenced it and it just didnt seem to be right. I found other words that seemed to have worked better. But didnt know how to use the correct grammar. Could someone please help, please and thanks!
