The quote itself is quite heartening when you consider that when you act for self-gain then no good can come of it. However, if you act selflessly, then you act well for all and you must not be afraid. This quote is a reminder to all of us that we must not allow our own self-interest to get in the way of doing what we know we should do. Whether it is behaving in a way that will bring honor and glory to all, or doing what we know is right even though it doesn’t bring glory to us, acting with selflessness is the best thing we can do for our friends and loved ones.
