спорить не буду - по частотности варианты, указанные коллегами, встречаются гораздо чаще. И все же хотелось бы услышать мнение носителя языка - используется ли we'll live and see или этот вариант звучит скорее как калька с русского. Заранее спасибо!

What is dark now is clear later
Правда, это, пожалуй, ближе к ‘утро вечера мудренее’, но это тоже из той же оперы.

And as for you truly being a dragonwell, what's dark now's clear later, as they say, and I'll try not to close my mind to anything.
