About this Quote

This quote by Edwin Louis Cole speaks with the importance of having a strong ethical compass and remaining real to oneself. It recommends that when we concentrate on pleasing God, we will naturally be pleasing to others. On the other hand, if we concentrate on pleasing others, we will never be able to please anyone. This is because our own worths and beliefs will be jeopardized while doing so. It is necessary to keep in mind that we ought to constantly aim to do what is right and pleasing to God, even if it means going versus the grain. This quote motivates us to stay real to our own values and beliefs, and to not be swayed by the opinions of others. Eventually, if we concentrate on pleasing God, we will have the ability to discover true satisfaction and peace.
