Word of Honor

Image
"I have been asked what I mean by "WORD OF HONOR". I will tell you: Place me behind prison walls-walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground-there is a possibility that in some way or another I might be able to escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give MY WORD OF HONOR never to cross it. CAN I GET OUT OF THAT CIRCLE ? NO, NEVER ! I'D DIE FIRST." - Karl G. Maeser I think that this statement is true and states that a promise should never be broken no matter the cost.                                                 

"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

Image
George said this because he thinks using steroids for a baseball game is a bad choice and is basically called cheating.                                                   

"I won't cheat" -Dale Murphy

Image
Dale Murphy said, "I won't cheat" knowing that it is wrong because it is true. Cheating is a big thing you'll do in life as well if you lie because it will end up in your mind and won't let you find peace until you had confess. It is like going to church and telling the priest all your sins, how are you going to feel afterwards you have told him your lies, of course you will feel relieved, you will be taking a big weight on your back. 

"Character Matters Most." -Dale Murphy

Image
Character matters more as a person, it doesn't and shouldn't matter who you are unless you have a positive mindset and has a good character for other people to see in you.                          

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

Image
I think that this statement is true because all you need in order to be a great person to another is having a positive vibe and the greatest heart of all. I think he is saying that beauty in someone doesn't matter, how strong they are, or if they are rich or not really shouldn't matter. All what matters the most is their personality, in my opinion, how they are with you will give you a hint of how they are in general. There is always that one person where you'll connect instantly and it is from the heart and from their personality.

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

Image
This statement is true and means that whatever you do right now as in today will mark your future. Perhaps when you do something bad you go to court and they tell you that wh at you did was way off line then you will have jail time and for the rest of your life that you won't get to enjoy it.

"Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act accordingly." - Otto Graham, Jr

Image
This statement is agreeable because it is better to think and ask yourself first rather than blurting out words when you don't even know what you are saying. That is why we first think and ask ourselves how are we going to do things. Is it right or is it a wrong thing to do. That is why we say think before you act . And therefore when you have your answer act accordingly.

"Act well your Part; there all honor lies." - Alexander Pope

Image
This statement means that do right things and they will be considered honorable.

"If you do what's right, if you live the right way, you'll be taken care of." - Rachel Castillo

Image
I agree with this statement from Rachel Castillo, if you do what is right you'll always be rewarded with something good in exchange. She found almost a whole year salary of a person who left there money behind. But she wanted the best and since she was religious and her religion don't lie she was truthful to herself and the person who lost the money and gave it back.

"What's right isn't always popular. What's popular isn't always right."- Albert Einstein

Image
  This statement I agree with means that it's not right to feel or be popular, and being popular isn't right. In addition, doing something the popular way would make you a (choosing the wrong) person and you want to make sure you do things the right way. For example, someone who would do haircuts and trim for someone in need like the homeless would not be not only a good person but is also doing what's right and not by being popular. And someone who does something trying to be popular would be doing what's wrong.
