Faith and endeavour conquer all


Explanation:
Interestingly, in English you have two maxims, both derived from the Latin, which together would convey the general meaning of the Russian:

Labor omnia vincit (hard work conquers all)
Amor omnia vincit (love conquers all).

I would fuse the two together, replacing love with faith for a more accurate rendition of the source phrase.

Hence, Faith and hard work conquer all. Or, a touch more poetically, Faith and endeavour conquer all.
