Could this be put "Through knowledge..." rather than "With"?
And could "seek" be replaced by "attain"? (I'm not sure of the Latin, so this is just a suggestion).
I've set a poll.

Não seria melhor colocar "work" em vez de "labour"? | | |

It seems to me that "attain" is too "finalistic", because the Latin verb has a "try to" acception (we'll try to, but it isn't sure we'll achieve it). Any other suggestion? 
----------------
Diego,
"Labour" supposes some physical effort ('hard work'), for which I think it translates better the Latin term. | | |

What about "pursue"? | | |

Taino - I don't think the latin says as much as that does it?
Tittyy - If you don't motivate your disagreement with goncin's translation I can't take you opinion into consideration.
Pursue is fine with me
