This is a famous Chinese quote: 海納百川 The Sea Accepts A Hundred Streams, meaning that a great person can accept all things big and small.
The origin in a different form is from a Taoist Zhuangzi saying: "between heaven and earth, there is nothing greater than the sea, it accepts ten thousand streams" 莊子‧秋水篇 ：天下之水莫大於海，萬川納之.
Then in the Ching Dynasty, Lin Zexu 林則徐 wrote the inspiring words during his fight against foreign powers forcing opium on his country:
海納百川，有容乃大。 壁立千仞，無欲則剛。"The sea accepts a hundred streams, being able to accept all is to be great. The cliffs stand firm and thousands of feet tall, having no selfish desire is to be strong."
