有志者事竟成 Where there is a will there is a way

有志者事竟成, 破釜沉舟, 百二秦关终属楚 ;

苦心人天不负, 卧薪尝胆, 三千越甲可吞吴



(对联 前半句指的是楚霸王项羽,后半句是苦心复国的越王勾践。) 

A Famous Chinese Couplet


Where there is a will there is a way;

Breaking cooking pots, sinking their ships --
The one hundred and two Qin cities
Were over-run by Chu finally.

Man of firm resolve ne'er forsaken by Fate;

But one needs to endure great hardship --
Just three thousand armoured Yue troops
Great victory over Wu did scoop.


金弓 -- 

篡位將,命該贏,破浪乘風,八百神州皆姓趙;

苦心人,天不负,卧薪尝胆,三千越甲可吞吴。
