Question
"nothing worth having comes easy"    thank you  HAVE GOOD NEW YEAR

Answer
Hello,

The phrase you mention can be rendered in Latin as follows:

“Nihil dignum evenit facile”.

In fact NIHIL (neuter) is ‘nothing’; DIGNUM (neuter agreed with NOTHING) is ‘worth having’; EVENIT (3rd.person singular, present indicative)  is ‘comes’; FACILE (adverb)  is ‘easy’.

Best,
Maria
