"I won't cheat" - Dale Murphy  These three words are very important words to live by. It is important to understand the importance of these three simple words. Following this statement can lead to an honest, fruitful life. I know the impact these words can make beause I have seen how cheating can affect the person commiting the act and the people around them. Cheating can be as simple as looking at someone elses paper to something much bigger. Dale Murphy was a baseball palyer so he knew the importance of not cheating. Dale Murphy was an honest man. He won several of the games he played and did all of that without disobeying the rules of baseball. I have also lived an honest life, throughout my school years I have never cheated on my assignments and tests.  I also had never cheated on a softball game, when i was playing. 

"Character Matters Most" - Dale Murphy This quote is true. The most important part of a person is their character. I think this is true because in this day in age many kids are forgetting this. For example, these passed few months there have been several school shootings. These people have a bad character because no one good would want to bring harm to others. Also, Donald Trump has a bad character because he wants to seperate everyone and has already left many families broken due to his laws. Dale Murphy was a good character because he was always happy on the field and was a happy person. He seemed generous and didn't give  off a negative impression of himself. Many people need to recognize that looks and items aren't everything because in the end, when our time comes, those things won't  matter to anyone. What will matter is how you treated people and your character.

" Great beauty, great strength, and great riches are really and truly of no great use; a right heart exceeds all." - Benjamin Franklin  This quote in my words means, no matter what you look like, how strong you are, or how much money you have, in the ned one of the only things that matters is your heart and how you treat others. This quote can mean many things to anyone but to me it means that in the end the only thing that counts is how you treat others. For example, me and my mom used to always visit retirement homes because we love to spread happiness and positivitity. We would go to the people and made a couple friends with the people there but sadly we dont go anymore, not because we dont want to but because we have been so busy. I hope to go again soon because it really reminded me of this quote since it talks about a good heart exceeding all. Another big example is with my aiblibgs. I tend to eb the calmer one and not argue with them, so when one or the other is scr...

"It may make a difference to all eternity whether we do right or wrong today."-James Freeman Clarke I agree with this quote.

Everyday i think about how all my assignments go into my grade. My grade goes into what college i make it into and my future. i make sure to  alway make a good choice when  it comes to that because i know how it can affect me. I have learned from all my older siblings that school comes first and to try hard because your grades will have a domino affect on the colleges i get accepted to. This quote is very true and there are also other times where this quote relates to it.

"Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act according."                                                                                - Otto Graham  This quote, in my own words, means acknowledge if something is wrong or right and make the best choice. Many times, i have thought about a quote similar to this and i actually make my decisions with a conscious mind and i think about what is right and what is wrong and make sure that drives me to my decision. I like this quote because it is something people don't always do. I feel like some peolpe make decisions and dont really think about the effects the choice will have on them or whoever in the long run. I feel like if people thought about the choices  they make and focus on how it could negatively impact them or someone else,...

"Act well your part; there all honor lies." - Alexander Pope This quote in my own words means to be responsible and make good choices because lies are bad. The examples given in class weren't even examples because the teacher showed us a video of a little league baseball team that broke a rule without knowing and the teacher said they did it on purpose and that they were horrible people for doing such thing. I think this quote is important, everyone is supposed to be good people and make good decisions. I have experienced this when I was in school, several people ere cheating on a test because we had a sub but I knew that was wrong and I didn't cheat. Making good decisions and living an honest life is very important and effects the people around you positively.

"Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company." - George Washington I agree with this quote because it is something all of us need to learn and i have experienced things that have convinced me that this quote is true. Several times my mom has told me this quote, but in different words. She has told me that it is best to not have friends because sometimes it is for a reason. Now that I think back maybe the reason why i didn't have many friends at the time that she told me this was due to this quote. I think i did not have many friends throughout middle school because they'd be a distraction towards what i was going to school for, an education. Also when people have friends that don't make a positive influence on them they tend to get into more trouble which can follow them throughout their whole life. I agree with this quote because sometimes many people don't realize how...

"Right is right, only when entire." Victor Hugo I agree with this quote because it pertains to many things. This quote pertains to people, lies, and actions. The example that was given to us by the teacher was incorrect because it involved Donald Trump. It was an article talking about Trump and his sobriety and how great of a person he was because of it. BUT THAT ISN'T TRUE. It isn't true because Donald Trump is racist and sexist and because of that he isn't completely right which makes him a bad person. This quote is saying that in order for someone to be completely right they need to be 100% good when it comes to everything. I believe a good example of this would be my mom. My mom is a right person all the time. She doesn't drink, is kind to her parents, kind to her siblings, and still has time to care and spend time with her kids.
