The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly.

It is not humility -- it is petty pride, withholding its simple gifts from the hands of Christ because they are not more pretentious. There are men who would endow colleges, they say, if they were millionaires. They would help in the work of Bible study if they were as gifted as Henry Drummond. They would strive to lead their associates into the Christian life if they had the gifts of Dwight L. Moody. But they are not ready to give what they have and do what they can and be as it has pleased God to make them, in His service -- and that is their condemnation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember, if you smoke after sex you're doing it too fast. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56695]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remember, if you smoke after sex you're doing it too fast.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That which offends the ear will not easily gainadmission to the mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21320]]></link><description><![CDATA[That which offends the ear will not easily gainadmission to the mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everybody wants to eat at the government's table, but nobody wants to do the dishes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18044]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everybody wants to eat at the government's table, but nobody wants to do the dishes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As he got older, he became stronger and his speed improved.
