I am a practitioner of a martial art, and am looking to get a tattoo which reads "With great power comes great resposibility", and would like this translated so that I am able to have it written in Mandarin characters. If anyone is able to help with the translation at all I would be most thankfull. Perhaps someone knows of a website where the fraze can be typed in and the characters will be auto' located. Thank you once again to any helpers. =)

I'm not sure of how to exactly translate that phrase. But I can tell you that in the Chinese language, there are many idiomatic phrases called "Cheng Yu." Each Chengyu is made up of four syllables and is spelled with four characters. There are many, many of these phrases, so there should be one about power and responsibility somewhere. I'll try to find an online resource of them for you, so maybe you can find what you are looking for.
