learn from cradle to tomb

[alpacinou]

Hello

In my language we have a saying that literally translates to "learn from cradle to tomb".

Can the English expression "from womb to tomb" be used as an equivalent?

You should learn from womb to tomb.

I thought that people don't have the ability to learn in a womb. But they also don't have this ability in a cradle maybe.

If that does not work, what other expression can be used?

from the cradle to the grave

Is this okay?

We should learn from the cradle to the grave.

Yes.

I would probably use the continuous there.

We should keep learning from the cradle to the grave.
