I've seen these writings in the ground of Brazil.

I've already tried to translate it with my friend but there are some complex
kanji that we don't know.

I'm very curious to know what they say, can someone translate it? I have four
pictures, if the writings are not legible I can try to edit the photos and
make them more legible.

question
translation meaning kanji history
Japanese writings in Brazil
It seems to be 汗のない社会は堕落だ, which is a variation on
「愛なき人生は暗黒なり。汗なき社会は堕落なり。」Google tells me this is a quote from
[前田又兵衛](http://systemincome.com/main/kakugen/tag/%E5%89%8D%E7%94%B0%E5%8F%88%E5%85%B5%E8%A1%9B).
Something like "A life without love is darkness. A society without effort is
corruption."
