Любишь кататься - люби и саночки возить

One cannot have pleasure either without working hard for it or without paying a lot after-wards ~ If you dance you must pay the fiddler. He that would have eggs must endure the cackling of hens. He that would eat (or have) the fruit, must climb the tree. No pains, no gains. Love me, love my dog. After dinner comes the reckoning ^ You called the tune, now you must pay the piper. You've made your bed and now you must lie on it # He who likes skiing downhill must enjoy climbing uphill. Ср. Без труда не вытащишь и рыбку из пруда.

- Но почему же вы не хотите помочь?
- А потому, во-первых, что у меня нет денег для покрытия твоих дрянных дел, а во-вторых - и потому, что вообще это до меня не касается. Сам напутал - сам и выпутывайся. Любишь кататься - люби и саночки возить. (М. Салтыков-Щедрин. Головлёвы)

"But why don't you want to help me?"
"In the first place because I have no money to cover up your dirty affairs, and secondly because it simply has nothing to do with me. You've got yourself into a scrape and you must get yourself out of it. As you make your bed, so you must lie upon it."

* - Вы сходите сударь, подвиньтесь ещё. Авось бог даст… Детей, сударь, пожалеть надо. Повинитесь сударь. Что делать! Люби кататься… (Л. Толстой. Анна Каренина)

"Go to her, sir, and ask her forgiveness again. It may help, Got willing. You must have pity, sir, on the children. Beg her forgiveness, sir. It can't be helped! Once you've made your bed…"

* Она [Маша] оглядела себя, горько хмыкнула: - Хороша, нечего сказать! Домарьяжилась девонька! Ну что ж. Любила кататься, люби и… А! Да всё равно теперь. (М. Алексеев. Ивушка неплакучая)

She looked at herself and murmured sadly: "What a sight I am! Well, after the feast comes the reckoning… Oh! It's all one now."
