ອົດສົ້ມໄດ້ກິນຫວານ ອົດຄ້ານໄດ້ເງິນຄຳ

Etymology
Literally: Suffer the sourness now, and you will taste the sweetness later; avoid laziness, and you will receive gold and silver. Another interpretation of the first phrase is that one must resist the temptation to eat a fruit not fully ripe which has a sour taste (e.g., a mango), so that when it is fully ripe he/she can enjoy its sweetness.
