Summary

This quote suggests that while many people may claim to love the idea of achieving greatness, very few are willing to endure the hardships or sacrifices necessary to attain it. It implies that true dedication and commitment require individuals to not only believe in and follow a certain path, like loving Jesus and pursuing a heavenly kingdom, but also to actively carry the burdens and challenges that come along with it.
