"It make a difference to all eternity whether we do right or wrong today"  

                                         James Freeman Clarke  

What this quote means is that if you did right in the past everyone in the future would say he was a good man and they want to be like you. I agree with this quote because if back then everyone was bad now way more people would be bad too. If you do good now  your kids are going to do good because they are looking up to you and want to be good as you one day.
