"No pains, No gains

Do you consider "No pain, No gain" to be the same as "No pains, No gains."? Or is there a slight difference in meaning between them? Thank you so much as always in advance.

The saying is No pain, No gain . That is the idiomatic form. People don't use the plural version - at least not in my experience.

I'm not sure I'd capitalize the second no, but other than that, I agree with AEmotion: stars.
