QUOTE (William Shakespeare) – April 26
April 26, 2014“Good name in man and woman, dear my lord,
Is the immediate jewel of their souls:
Who steals my purse steals trash; ’tis something, nothing;
’twas mine, ’tis his, and has been slave to thousands;
But he that filches from me my good name
Robs me of that which not enriches him,
And makes me poor indeed.”
~ William Shakespeare, Othello
In honor of William Shakespeare, considered the greatest writer in English literature, who was baptized on this day in 1564.

The loss of one’s good name can be extremely painful. Christians, however, must be prepared for this. We will be maligned for our faith. We cannot let that deter us from spreading the Gospel.
