Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown. A person who has great responsibilities, such as a king, is constantly worried and therefore doesn't sleep soundly. This saying is a line from the play King Henry the Fourth, Part Two, by William Shakespeare.
莎剧《亨利四世》：
Canst thou, O partial sleep, give thy repose
To the wet sea-boy in an hour so rude,
And in the calmest and most stillest night,
With all appliances and means to boot,
Deny it to a king? Then happy low, lie down!
Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.
解释：如果想戴着这个帽子，就必须承受它的重量。
引申义：如果想要做某件事，就需要承受这件事所有的压力和责任等。

Haha!
In TBS, how many craved and still craving the "dharma crown"?
We have seen the downfall of the "topmost", the "successor", or the #2!
Follow his rise and fall?
Even a layman's crown comes with Great Responsibilities, what more the Dharma one!
Yes!
Things should not be like this in context with a Dharma Crown, concur?
Dharma crowns are not to be crave for, or pursue with Sentient Mindsets!
They are a NATURAL "gift" when One attains Buddhahood!
The pursuit or chase for the Dharma Crown and associated Throne or Seat, will only be frivolous and in some cases lethal to the ones that chase or pursue such items.
Bear in mind the key points of the Diamond & Heart Sutras.
Formlessness!
