“ True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what’s right”

Brigham Young

I think this is a great statement by Brigham Young. You will only earn independence and freedom if you do the right thing. I believe that everyone should be doing what is right so they can have all the freedom they want. People who choose the wrong don’t have any freedom at all because they earn consequences for what they have done. I’m pretty sure nobody would want to be behind bars because of their bad actions they have committed . It would be sad to just live a life with no freedom and independence at all. People should just do whats right and they wouldn’t have to go through any of the bad things in life. Independence and freedom are both very important for us because without it , we’re nothing. Everyone should be CTR and not choose the wrong.

“ They’re only truly great who are truly good”

- George Chapman

I think this is a really great quote stated by George Chapman. I also do believe that the people who do good are the ones that are great. People that are good for example , don’t cheat and try their best on things. The people who do good , will not just be good but live a good life. Everyone should do good and they would be awarded with the finest things in life. People who cheat aren’t good people at all , they are just bad and filthy. They will never made it in the good team with the other good people. A mean and rude person is ever going to be truly good at all because of their behavior. I think everyone should just strive to be good and everything will be okay. If they stay CTR , they definitely will be good.

“Many think that the short term gain will be worth the long term pain, but it isn’t. In addition, using steroids is cheating, and there is nothing worse in sports than a cheater. Don’t do it “ . - George Mitchell

I think this is a great quote stated by George Mitchell. I believe that people shouldn’t have to cheat in a sport. It is sad how people have to cheat to be successful in a sport or in school. For Example, in a sport some people decide to cheat and take steroids. You should just try your best and find out the abilities that God gave you that are possible to do. People shouldn’t have to cheat on test either, they should just try their best. If they didn’t know much , then they could have gone to tutoring instead . People can always ask for tips on how to improve on something. What I think the best thing to do is just as said again try because its good to know you at least tried on something. Remember to choose the right and don’t cheat .

“ I won’t cheat” Dale Murphy

I think this is a great quote by Dale Murphy. I agree that people should not cheat at all. People who don’t cheat get successful in their life. For example , if you tried your hardest on trying to win a game then it is at least good to know you tried and that you did it . It is always good to do whats right and not do anything wrong. It is sad how some athletes have to use steroids in order to be good. People who use drugs to win a simple game is just cheating. You get very big consequences for cheating like some athletes have actually been to jail because of that. You wouldn’t want to end up like them , without any freedom at all. Its just very sad so I believe that you should always just try your best. You won’t feel good when you cheat, you would just feel bad.

“ Character Matters Most. “ Dale Murphy

I think this is a great quote by Dale Murphy. It is better to have a good character than to have all the riches in the world. Dale didn’t care that he got payed more than his other players. Dale cared most about him family and others instead of the main things . As long that he has a good character , thats all that he cares about the most. He probably wouldn’t even care if he got fired from his career , at least he would have a good care. I believe that everyone has a good character and that everyone is great. Dale is a really good husband and father to his kids and his wife. What matters most is how you act and how you are. Don’t get all hyped because you just have a lot of money , be happy that you at least have a good character.

“ Great beauty, great strength, and great riches are truly of no great use; a right heart exceeds all.”  -Benjamin Franklin

I think this is such a great quote by Benjamin Franklin. It is better to have a great heart then have all the money in the world. People with a lot of money are mostly no kind hearted. They have a bad heart and all they care about is getting more and more money. Sometimes , there are people with a lot of money with a very kind heart. Some celebrities help out by donating and being such a great sport and not just keeping the money to themselves. They do it for a great cost and it makes them feel really good inside. You are most likely to have a bunch of friends if you are a kind hearted person because no one would want to have a friend who is just unkind at all. I agree with the quote that having a kind heart is way better than just having money and being rich.

“ The best way to predict your future is to create it.” - Charles Ketterer

- The only way to know if you would have a good future or not is to make it. The stuff you do now will determine how your future will be. If you do many good things now, then you would have a good future and live a good healthy life. If you do many bad things now , then you would just live a bad life until you die. It is always good to do good for yourself and your others. Do something great for your environment and it’ll probably be beautiful and clean. People who do bad won’t have a good environment because they probably litter or just don’t care for the environment at all. I believe everyone would have a good future if we all just worked for it . Everyone would like to live a long and steady life . Whatever you do will see how your future will be.

“ Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act accordingly” - 0tto Graham, Jr.

I think what he’s saying is to think about when something is right or when something is wrong

For example, lets say your mom tells you to go to the liquor store to go buy some milk and you see your friend on the way. He invites you to go with him to go to a late night party. You take the time to think about it and you say no , Why? Because its the right thing to do. You promised your mom you were gonna come home as soon as you bought the milk for her. You are doing the right thing because you are making a promise to her instead of ditching it and going to the party. Sometimes people need to take the time a decide if something is worth doing or not. Always do the right thing and make sure that it is right and not wrong.

“ Act well your part; there all honor lies.” Alexander Pope

I think this is a great quote by Alexander Pope. If you act good and graceful. You will be honored with a GREAT reward . For example, I am honored to be at this school. This school is really great and I like being here . There could have been many other students to join this school except for me. You are also honored to have parents who care about you and love you. Without them , you wouldn’t even have been born so give them all the love and feel honored that they are the greatest parents you ever have. Another thing that you get honored for it your school grade when they give you an award for your outstanding work. You worked hard for that grade and you get something in return for your very hard work. Feel honored for what you get in return for your actions. It might not be exactly something like money or an object, but it can be something very good that’ll happen to you waiting to come.
