Hello dear. Word by word it's: "To live without risks, you live nothing" but I'd say:

"Living without risks you don't live".

Thank you, dear!

Alex, I think you didn't understand the source text precisely. Could you correct your translation, please?

I translated into Latin thinking
"If you live without risks, you don't live really".

French text doesn't show any 2nd singular person.
It shows only a general subject "on", which finds its equivalent in the 3rd singular person passive ending "-tur".

Maybe instead of "si vivitur" I could have written "vivendo".
Is "vere" totally wrong in this context?

I see. So, you can leave this passive impersonal form I guess.

But "Vivendo" is typical "Italian solution"
In Latin it should be "vivens" (participium praesentis activi).
You added "vere" (truly) to the text, because you interpreted it in this just way. I don't think it is very bad. I'd say this is rather a matter of your "licentia poetica" (even if it is not a poem at all). And becuase this is a request "meaning only" you can let yourself use the "licence"

But using "vivens" in the first clause, you have to use 2nd person in the second one...

Then is this OK?

"Sine periculis vivens, vere non vivis."
