RE: Writer's inspiration in Latin - can you translate it?

["Bruce Evans" <bruce -dot- evans -at- sympatico -dot- ca>]

I think a more colloquial--and more upbeat--translation would be, "You can
be what you aspire to," or, "You can be whatever you want to be."

Linda asked:

Anyone out there who can translate? Are some of the words feminine
gendered?

Omnia numquam tan aspera sunt quam videntur.


It might possibly mean - "Nothing's as bad as it seems."
