Need help with a qoute! - Martin Wallgren - 05-30-2007
Could some friendly soul translate this into Latin?
"He who doesn´t want when he gets, doesn´t get when he wants!"
Thanx in advance!

Not me. I'm a non-scholar.
But Senea Major offered the parallel, and actual, quote, Non quia difficilia sunt non audemus, sed quia non audemus, difficilia sunt.
Translation: "It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, but because we do not dare, things are difficult."

Thank you!
Anyone else have a clue?

Accipiens nolens nihil habet, cum cupit.
Unwilling receiving nothing has, when desires.
I hope it is a correct latin translation.
