Difficilia Quae Pulchra
Non facile ad pulchros itur virtutis honores;
Praemia quem tangunt, taedia non moveant.
Source: Georgius Carolides (1569-1612), Farrago, 3.56. Meter: Elegiac. Note the use of the neuter facile as an adverb: non facile itur, literally, "it is not gone easily" = "it's not an easy path."
