        well, I think he meant: Per aspera ad astra

        just remember that almost all older languages had fewer nouns and verbs, so “thorns” here is referring to difficulty and obstruction

        so more meaningfully translated, this old Latin saying is closer to “through great treachery is the path to the stars”
