No Fool!

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose.

Jim Elliot, christian missionary, explaining his motivation to go to a headhunter tribe to share the Gospel. They killed him, but the tribe later heard the Gospel, received Christ, and was totally transformed.

This is surely one of the most challenging statements ever spoken by a man.   We tend to give what does not costs us too much, and what we do not want anyway; we hold on to what we cherish, therefore we often lose what is most precious to us.
