欲戴王冠必承其重欲握玫瑰必承其痛
[yù dài wáng guān bì chéng qí zhòng yù wò méi guī bì chéng qí tòng]
The phrase means that if one desires greatness (to wear a crown), they must also accept the responsibilities (the weight it carries) that come with it; likewise, wishing for beauty (like holding a rose) entails being willing to endure suffering (prickles that hurt). It emphasizes accepting the challenges and difficulties accompanying one's ambitions and desires.
