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."

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