Quote by George Eliot
You must mind and not lower the Church in people's eyes by seeming to be frightened about it for such a little thing.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the need to defend and uphold the reputation of the Church, without prematurely succumbing to fear or doubt over minor issues. It suggests that excessive concern or anxiety about small matters can undermine people's perception of the Church's strength and credibility. In order to maintain a positive image, it is important to approach challenges with a composed demeanor, remaining steadfast in the face of trivial obstacles that may otherwise tarnish the reputation of the Church.
