Since there is apparently no literal translation for "never", how would you translate this idiom ?
What periphrasis would you use to express the same meaning ?

Or you could take the katakana route and use ネヴァー・セイ・ネヴァー. – Andrew Grimm May 20 '12 at 3:29
How about something like 「絶対なんて絶対にない」? It has the same self-contradictory nature as the English original, and seems to have some use as well. The meaning is slightly different, however. You could also go with something like 「ありえないなんてありえない」 or something...
