Do you not know that in a race the runners all compete, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may Win it. Athletes exercise self-control in all things; they do it to receive a perishable Wreath but we an imperishable one. So I do not run aimlessly, nor do I box as though beating the air, so that I myself will not be disqualified.
– St.Paul, First letter to the Corinthians
