About This Quote
I would rather fail doing God's work than have a pseudo-victory being co-opted by someone else. This quote is great because it touches on the idea of perseverance in times of adversity. The fact that the speaker chose to live their life without regard for the opinions of others shows how strongly they held onto what they believed in. What is more, when the speaker chose to do God's work despite the failure of their efforts, they showed great respect for God.
The best way to honor God is to do what He tells us to do. The best way to honor the person who told you to do something is to do it.
