Quien algo quiere, algo le cuesta
I'm looking for an english idiom meaning the same that this spanish refrán.
Really, the spanish one I would like to translate is "quien quiera peces, que moje el culo", but I prefered not to put it in the title of the thread. I don't want to be offensive or unpolite , but I need a strong an a bit naughty idiom. Thanks! B.

The saying that Bolboreta refers to in Spanish, implies that if someone wants anything, that someones has to make the effort to get it or accomplish it. Similar to "al que quiere celeste, que le cueste" |

I'm aware of what the expressions mean. The three English ones I posted imply just that AND they have the other meaning of making a choice to stay with something or change to doing something else. To me, both meanings imply putting in the effort or getting out. There are undoubtedly other ways to say the same thing. I only posted three different expressions.

You have to get your feet wet. I person who knows nothing about a subject and has just stared (a novice or novillo) hasn't gotten their feet
wet.
