"It may make a difference to all eternity whether we do right or wrong today."
I believe that this statement is trying to say is that the only that way you can see what affects your life is by the decisions you make today. If you make a bad decision then bad things are going to happen in life and if you make a good decision then good things are going to happen in your life. Everything is laid out by what you decide to do today. For example let's say that you have an early dismissal today and you don't tell you parents because you want to go out and eat with your friends. That bad decision determines what could happen to you when you get home and your parents find out about where you really instead of telling them the truth and just asking for permission. Just because you think it is fine to do something doesn't mean you should do it. Another example would be if you tell your mom that you are going to go to your friends house to study because you have a big test the next day. She let's you go. You go to your friend's house and study and come home before 10 just like your mom asked you to. That good decision may have just given you more trust from your mom because she knows that you did not lie to her about going to study. Everything you do affects your life in some way. It may be small and it may be big but no matter what always do the good deed and everything small that comes out of it turns into something to look forward to.
