"Be made of sterner stuff" = được làm từ vật cứng. Tính từ "stern" nghĩa là nghiêm khắc, cứng rắn. Cụm từ này chỉ tính cách của một người rất mạnh mẽ, quyết đoán, không khoan nhượng. 

Ví dụ 
But as he often does, Barnaby Joyce delivered the harshest assessment (đánh giá), saying he thought Mr Bernardi was “made of sterner stuff” and accusing (buộc tội) him of “running away”. 

Most players would have crumbled (sụp đổ) if they had lost a first set to Nadal at this particular location but Thiem is clearly made of sterner stuff, and that bodes (báo hiệu) well for the future of the sport. 

We’ve already got Judi James on hand to dissect (phân tích) their body language as they get into the romantic spirit – with the VTs alone proving to be pretty revealing. ‘Hopefully Amy won’t get her heart broken like our air hostess did last year,’ Judi concluded on Amy. ‘She looks as though she’s made of sterner stuff.'

Yesterday's final Group B game at the 2019 Women's World Cup in France showed us that the Chinese women's team are made of sterner stuff. They are not afraid to get stuck in and were impressive in their defensive solidity (phòng thủ vững chắc) and doggedness (gan lì, bền bỉ) and generally made life complicated for Jorge Vilda's side.
