欲带皇冠必承其重欲握玫瑰必承其痛
[yù dài huáng guān bì chéng qí zhòng yù wò méi guī bì chéng qí tòng]
A longer saying means 'To wear the crown must bear its weight; To hold the rose must endure its thorns'. Symbolically, it refers to the fact that to reach a higher status (crown) or pursue beauty (rose), one has to prepare for challenges, hardships, or suffering they bring along.
