自力更生，艰苦奋斗。

Self-reliance and arduous struggle.

e.g. 我们的方针要放在什么基点上？放在自己力量的基点上，叫做自力更生。我们并不孤立。

On what basis should our policy rest?  It should rest on our own strength, and that means regeneration through one's own efforts.  We are not alone.

e.g. 我们是主张自力更生的。我们希望有外援，但是我们不能依赖它，我们依靠自己的努力，依靠全体军民的创造力。

We stand for self-reliance.  We hope for foreign aid but cannot be dependent on it; we depend on our own efforts, on the creative power of the whole army and the entire people.

e.g. 中国的革命是伟大的，但革命以后的路程更长，工作更伟大，更艰苦。这一点现在就必须向党内讲明白，务必使同志们继续地保持谦虚、谨慎、不骄、不躁的作风，务必使同志们继续地保持艰苦奋斗的作风。

The Chinese revolution is great, but the road after the revolution is great, the work greater and more arduous.  This must be made clear now in the Party.  The comrades must be helped to remain modest, prudent and free from arrogance and rashness in their style of work.  The comrades must be helped to preserve the style of plain living and hard struggle.
