Something similar

...Well, to live is to fly, both low and high

Flying spreads your wings


Explanation:
Just a suggestion. "Gives you wings" has already been used in the Red Bull adverts, so I would keep clear of that in case the copyright lawyers are sharpening their knives...

agree  Yavor Dimitrov: You are right about copyright lawyers. They might eat you alive when it comes to 'describing something in the same words as someone already did'. A 'borrowed' catch phrase on a company calendar is quite conspicuous.
