Hi BORIME4KA

Are you sure about the word "thorns" it seems to me rather strange in this context.

There is an adage "through hardship to the stars", a translation of the Latin "per ardua ad astra" which was used in one Robert Heinlein's Sci Fi books.

Maybe it would be more understandable than the thorns?

Actually i needed the translation in Lathin, just thought English might help.

I also know the sentence "per espera ad astra".
which one of them sounds better, this, or the one you wrote obove?

I think that this sentence in Russian corresponds to the Latin expression "Per aspera ad Astra" -"Through hardships to the stars". Though if literally translated from Russian into English, it would be indeed "Through the thorns to the stars".
