Gregory of Nyssa, on 1Cor 9:24

“Know you not that they that run in the race, all run indeed, but one receiveth the prize? So run that you may obtain.”

“As far as you extend your efforts in behalf of piety, so far will the greatness of your soul extend through efforts and toils toward what the Lord urges us.”
