what is this saying in English: cur non strenue laboratis

There are sites you can go to and find things like this.  This is an English language forum.

 

With my limited Latin (most Church-), it looks a little like "no strain (pain), no gain".

It looks to me like, "The dog is not very strong for a Labrador (retriever)", which doesn't make a lot of sense.

Hey, CJ!

We should get together and offer an online Latin class - for those who don't care if they learn anything or not!

Hey, Tanit!   You're the Latin expert.  Can you translate for the original poster?

Ah! If only my old teacher could read this! She would laugh her head off, I guess!


Anyway, that should be (I think a question mark is missing) either "Why don't you work hard?" or "Why are you not working hard?" depending on the context.

Thanks, Tanit!

Hee, hee.  Sounds gruesome, though!
