One should openly show which side they belong to, even if on

Saying / Proverb★★★★

I can’t help thinking of the old woman who started out when the war commenced with a poker in her hand. When asked what she was going to do with it she said: “I can’t do much with it, but I can show what side I’m on.” My friends, even if you can’t do much, show to which side you belong.

— D. L. Moody

The point

One should openly show which side they belong to, even if one's contribution seems small; witness and allegiance matter.
