Searching for pithy sayings to give my Latin students for next week's class, I found "Ora et labora".
After we translate a proverb, I ask the students to try to put into smooth English, or better yet, match it with an English proverb of similar import. The one in the title came to my mind, so I thought I'd try to put it back into Latin,
"Deum lauda, aut saggittas adfer."
was my attempt.
Other suggestions?
