Hmmm "no-one learns without suffering"?

Hello Francky!

Not exactly, dear. I'd rather translate it as follows:

"No one understands, if (is) not suffering"
or even
"No one is wise if (is) not suffering".

Thanks Aneta! (yes, "nisi" : "if not", right!)

I'll add your bridge in the remarks field, thanks again.

Actually, your "without" wasn't bad too... I just wouldn't use the verb "learn" here, coz it's got a bit different meaning.
