If a man does not work passionately - even furiously - at being the best in the world at what he does, he fails his talent, his destiny, and his God.
So long as a man attends to his business the public does not count his drinks. When he fails they notice if he takes even a glass of root beer.
You can construct the character of a man and his age not only from what he does and says, but from what he fails to say and do.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. 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 at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.
It is God's earth out of which man is taken. From it he has his body. His body belongs to his essential being. Man's body is not his prison, his shell his exterior, but man himself. Man does not "have" a body; he does not "have" a soul; rather he "is" body and soul. Man in the beginning is really his body. He is one. He is his body, as Christ is completely his body, as the Church is the body of Christ
For every man in the world functions to the best of his ability, and no one does less than his best, no matter what he may think about it.
You are not only a man, you are a superior man: a man who does his best to live as love in the world and in his intimacy, a man whose heart remains open and whose truth remains strong.
A citizen who casts his ballot without having to the best of his abilities studied as much economics as he can fails in his civic duties.
That man is best Who does his best And leaves the rest, Then-do not worry.
Therefore the good man ought to be a lover of self, since he will then both benefit himself by acting nobly and aid his fellows; but the bad man ought not to be a lover of self, since he will follow his base passions, and so injure both himself and his neighbors. With the bad man therefore, what he does is not in accord with what he ought to do, but the good man does what he ought, since intelligence always chooses for itself that which is best, and the good man obeys his intelligence.
Surely what a man does when he is taken off his guard is the best evidence for what sort of man he is.
I have believed the best of every man. And find that to believe is enough to make a bad man show him at his best, or even a good man swings his lantern higher.
God may allow His servant to succeed when He has disciplined him to a point where he does not need to succeed to be happy. The man who is elated by success and is cast down by failure is still a carnal man. At best his fruit will have a worm in it.
If a man does his best, what else is there?
Sit a man on his ass with nothing to do but eat and the first thing that goes is his mind. It never fails.
The history of the world, as it is written and handed down by word of mouth, often fails us completely; but man's intuitive capacity, though it often misleads, does lead, does not ever abandon one.
