    No pain,no gain;no strain, no reign.

    That's the best I can come up with.

    Tut's mostly correct.

    No pain, no gain; no strain, no rein.

    (It's "rein," not "reign.")

    Hi Wondergirl,

    Could be,but it's open to interpretation.

    Straining on the rein would make sense. On the other hand, without the effort you could not reign.

    I can see your point, Tut. I'll concede to "reign" and make it that kind of parallel thought.
