Looking toward the future

There may be a question of translating in the a Heavenletter written May 2, 2015, as yet unnumbered that is entitled A Replay of Something in the Past This may be a colloquial expression that every one knows. In case it isn't. I'd like to note the meaning here ahead of time.

The last sentence of the Heavenletter is:

No matter who seems to come out ahead, there is no winner and no cigar.

Just in case this is a Heavenletter you might be translating, and you wonder about its meaning, there is no winner and no cigarr, it simply means you don't win a prize or really gain anything even when you seem to win. . It could be there is a similar expression in many or most languages? .

don't know that expression

Dear Gloria,

as far as I know there no such expression in Dutch.

But clear now how to translate if it comes to be an even number...

from heart to heart, namasté, Anneke
