天将降大任于斯人也,必先苦其心志,劳其筋骨,饿其体肤,空乏其身,行拂乱其所为。——《孟子》
When Heaven is going to entrust this man with a great mission, He will first of all make his mind suffer, tire his body, subject him to hunger and poverty, and confound him in his undertakings. ——Mencius by Meng Ke, philosopher and Confucian scholar of the Warring States Period
