In Response To: i need help on latin translation (kenwa)

Literally, "from the mud to the stars" would translate as something like:
"Ex limo ad astra" or such, but it happens to be that Latin already knows an appropriate phrase, namely: "Per aspera ad astra", meaning 'through the rough/difficult to the stars.'
