Well you could say "La vie enseigne ,l'amour révèle." of course but I wonder if "La vie montre mais l'amour dévoile." would also work ?

You have a very valid point, that would also work. Now just to choose which one. Thank you very much for your input :)

Well it might sound artificial (the second option ) to a French speaker.I can't really say.If it was a set expression that wouldn't matter but I don't know if English speakers can make up French expressions on the hoof if they haven't been used before.
I assume that this is for a tattoo? "Dévoile" might be a bit risqué.
There are other contributers to this site who may have a better idea.

The first one is ok and sounds better in French.

I'm sorry, but the phrase in English sounds just as artificial in itself. Chantal reveals the way to go.

Yes, it's for a possible tattoo design. I think I'll stick with the first option. It's a little more simple and to the point. Your input was enough for me. I'm in the very beginning stages of learning French, so I just needed a little reassurance before I go putting something permanent on my body.
