Question
I wanted to translate "The risk is worth the fall"
Can you help?

Answer
Hello,

the phrase "The risk is worth the fall" cannot be translated literally as the Romans would have said:

1-“Audeamus semper neque periculum timeamus!” ( Let’s  dare always and not to fear the risk)

2-“Memento audere semper” (remember to dare always)

3-“Tanti est adire periculum” (It’s worth to risk)

Best,
Maria
