I am looking for the Chinese characters (mandarin preferred) for this Chinese proverb I found online, "Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth."

I am doing a painting project and wanted to incorporate this Chinese proverb into it, in it's native language.

I am planning on giving points out- just don't know how many just yet.

However... the sooner I get help- the better. That's for sure. :)

Please and thank you!!

OP, I think this is right too. I put the phrase through an online dictionary, and the translations of each character that came out seemed pretty accurate, so...

Unfortunately I'm not a Chinese scholar, so I suppose this is the best you'll get.

Now, I gotta figure out what how to get Chinese characters to appear on my home computer... *sigh*

I may just skip it and just use a computer at school.
