Came across this expression in a political document on children in armed conflict. The speaker is urging the international community to put children's interests first in any talks/negotiations. The Arabic حيثما توافرت الإرادة، وُجدت وسيلة and حيثما توجد الإرادة، هناك طريقة may seem too literal. Someone suggested "بالعزيمة تهون الصعاب". Any thoughts? Thank you!

Comment: "Thank you all for your help. Due to the text politics and the need to avoid any explicit reference/inference to "failure" and/or "incapacity" to get the job done, I find this creative rendering fitting to the text intent and effect. Thank you Mai!"
