"I won't cheat"  -Dale Murphy

I do believe that you should never cheat as it can have a lot of consequences. When cheating, most of the time you will get caught, maybe not at the moment, but after you cheating you can still get caught. This probability increases if you cheat more than once. This can be a problem because you might get used to cheating and the probability rises. Apart from this once you cheat once you are more probable to do it again and then it becomes a habit. And if you do this it might be harder for you to do it on your own. In conclusion, we should follow Dale Murphy's footsteps and never cheat.

"Character matters most." - Dale Murphy

I agree with this post as I also believe that character is important. Being able to always be honest and respectful will always help in your life, no matter where it is that you are being like this. Another part of character is confidence, which would also help you a lot in your life. These things will not only give you more opportunities, but they will also help you accomplish what you want. This not only helps in school or in your job, but it applies to everywhere, as you should be good anywhere that you go. It is never bad to do good, so it is not something extra to do this. In conclusion, I completely agree with Dale Murphy's statement and I will always take them into a count when doing things in my life.

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

I don't agree with this quote. Everything can have a great use, of course I do think that a right heart is important, so is your strength, in some cases beauty and riches can have that of a great use. For example, Mich in the video we watched needed that strength. We saw him train to get to that point, of course his heart made him do that, but without strength he couldn't have won that. Strength is as important as a right heart. As for beauty, maybe isn't as important but it definitely has a use and great riches have a lot of uses when having a right heart. You can help others economically and those that need help. Maybe you can do that any ways, but with great riches you can do so much more for the world. In conclusion, IN MY OPINION great riches and great strength, depending on how you look at it, can be as important as having a right heart.

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


  I agree with this statement that you can make a difference but, not for all eternity as you don't live an eternity.  But yeah, you can do something bad in one day and it can affect you the whole life, but not eternity. This is why you have to think about consequences to your actions. It can be bad to not do something at the time as well, as it can hurt you in your life and affect it. The point is that you can do something really bad in a few seconds, and it may affect you your whole life. In conclusion I do agree with this quote but I would change eternal for life.

History of Valentines Day

The history of Valentine’s Day–and the story of its patron saint–is shrouded in mystery. We do know that February has long been celebrated as a month of romance, and that St. Valentine’s Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine’s actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death. There are many different beliefs but this is just one of them.

"Act well your part; there all honor lies"   Alexander Pope



I agree with this quote , as I agree with its meaning. We all have a part to play, big or small, in life. He says that the honor lies in acting your part well. This doesn’t mean to fake it. Our lives are performances with no rehearsal. We must improvise and stretch, try new things and get uncomfortable. We must not get used to our comfort zone. Sometimes we fail and thats normal. But you will never know unless you live to the fullest and take life head-on. You must learn to not be afraid of change. I believe that this is a true statement that we should all live by. But its all in my opinion. You might not agree with this quote, but thats your opinion.

"Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your won reputation. for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company."    -George Washington

I agree with this expression up to a certain degree. I do believe that you should associate yourself with good quality people, but some people can't be alone due to other situations, like depression. Some people would do anything to not be alone, including associating with bad people. Probably because bad people let others join their friend group easily, and poor people that need to be around others take this opportunity, because if they don't they might even do other things that aren't needed. In my opinion some people might need to be with others, but if they can they should be around good people . If you can be with good people over bad people, do that.
