“自强不息”，汉语成语，意思是自己努力向上，强大自己，永不懈怠停息（one should strive continuously to strengthen himself）。可以翻译为“constantly strive to become stronger；make unremitting efforts to improve oneself”。

 

这是中国人参照天体运行状态树立的理念和理想。它和“厚德载物（a person of great virtue can shoulder great responsibilities）”一起构成了中华民族精神的基本品格。

 

例句：

 

天行健，君子以自强不息。

Just as heaven keeps moving forward vigorously, a man of virtue should strive continuously to strengthen himself.
