Summary

This quote highlights the importance of both good will and a good reputation. Just as a person can earn a good name through various positive actions, they can also acquire good will by consistently displaying kindness, generosity, and trustworthiness. However, it warns that even one negative action can swiftly erode the hard-earned reputation and good will. Therefore, it serves as a reminder to always act with integrity and consideration, as a single mistake or act of wrongdoing can jeopardize years of effort in building a positive image among others.

O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief... for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
