It is not well for a man to pray cream and live skim milk.

Summary

This quote, attributed to Henry Ward Beecher, suggests that it is not enough for someone to express lofty aspirations or prayers while leading a mundane or unremarkable life. It implies that one's actions should align with their words and intentions - to pray for the best but settle for mediocrity is contradictory and undesired. In essence, the quote encourages individuals to live up to their potential and strive for more, rather than settling for less and contradicting their own desires and beliefs.
