Summary

This quote suggests that the majority of people find it difficult to align their actions with their beliefs. While many individuals may possess certain beliefs, their inability to act upon them sets them apart from a select few who actively live in accordance with their convictions. It implies that acting on one's beliefs requires a level of courage and determination that many people lack, resulting in a divide between those who merely hold beliefs and those who take meaningful action based on them.
