NO PAIN, NO GAIN

 

We are all acquainted with the English expression "No pain, no gain" which is often found in gyms, even in Spanish gyms. But as hard as it may be to believe, due to the idiosyncrasy of the Hispanic character, Spanish has many such expressions. Not one, but many. Let me list some:

-Medicina que pica, cura (sana) 

-El que algo quiere, algo le cuesta 

-No hay atajo sin trabajo 

-No hay miel sin hiel 

-El que quiere celeste que le cueste 

-No hay barranco sin atranco 

-No hay vida sin fatiga 

-El que no se arriesga no gana 

-El que quiere marrones, que aguante tirones
