"¡A darle! que no llueve pan"
Explanation:
Hi Alan,
The above and here are some others:
"El trabajo enoblece."
"No hay peor lucha que la que no se hace."
"Primero la obligación y luego la diversión."
"El que quiera azul celeste, que le cueste." (and I know a Rated R version of this one, that I can share with u, but not here ¶:^D!)

Good luck and greetings from Oso ¶:^)
