Translation needed

[websquirrel]

Hello all,
I was wondering how one would translate two common english phrases:
Nothing to lose.
Everything to gain.

I'm not so much looking for the literal word translation as much as I need the translation to retain the same meaning.

Thanks!

Well basically , "nothing to lose" means that someone cannot cause any disadvantages for themselves by doing a particular thing.

And "Everything to gain" usually is used in conjunction "nothing to lose", so it basically means similar to the above by having only advantages for themselves by doing a particular thing.

Hope that helps.

Translate? That's not translating! Put it into Swahili; now that's translating!

How about this for a translation into Japanese?
