What have I always believed? That on the whole, and by and large, if a man lived properly, not according to what any priests said, but according to what seemed decent and honest inside, then it would, at the end, more or less, turn out all right.

About This Quote

According to John Bunyan, there are two things that you can do in life that will enable you to become a better, stronger person. The first is to believe in God. The second is to live honestly and properly. In other words, have faith in God and live well.

The path of the man who lives well and has faith in God will result in a happier life than the one who only has faith and does not live well. The idea of living well and having faith is not new; it has been around for centuries.
