Quote by Benjamin Franklin

God will certainly reward virtue and punish vice, either here or hereafter.

God will certainly reward virtue and punish vice, either her

Summary

This quote suggests that belief in a higher power asserts that virtuous actions will eventually be rewarded and vice will be penalized, either in the present life or in the afterlife. It implies a sense of cosmic justice, where those who act morally and uprightly can expect positive outcomes or blessings, while those who engage in immoral behavior will face consequences or punishment. Whether these rewards and punishments are experienced in the earthly realm or in the realm beyond death is unclear, but the quote suggests that an ultimate judgment will be made by a divine force.

Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to the end, requires some of the same courage which a soldier needs.
