"Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it."
-William Penn

I agree with this quote by William. I say I agree because it speaks of the truth. although choosing the right may not seem to be very popular, it is still right. also, although everyone seems to be choosing the wrong and it seems almost as if you have to follow into that path as well, it is still wrong. if we wouldn't do it through our own, then why should we have to follow others that will lead me to nothing but failure.

Student Success Statement

"Cowardice Asks the question 'Is it safe?'
Expediency asks the question 'Is it politic?'
Vanity asks the question 'Is it popular?'

But, conscience asks the question, 'is it right?' and there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that is right."
-Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
I agree with these thought, people tend to follow in the path that will make themselves look better, rather than actually doing better.

"The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: Self - Respect, dignity, integrity, and Self - Esteem."

"Right is right only when entire."
-Victor Hugo

This is a true statement, it says that if you are not choosing the right all the time, then it is almost as if you've never chosen the right before. this makes sense too. what's the point of choosing the right if you don't choose it all the time. then you are not choosing the right 100% in that case.

"Your worth consists in what you are and not in what you have."
-Thomas Edison

I agree with this statement by Thomas Edison. I say I agree, because I have the same thoughts on this idea. people are worth the good they have done, rather than the good stuff they may own. you may own everything you could possibly imagine, but what's so good about it if you had to do bad things to receive these items. instead we should be judged by the good we have done.

When You Tell One Lie -Paul Hatch

When You Tell One Lie

-Paul Hatch

When you tell one lie, it leads to another
So you tell two lies to cover each other
Then you tell three lies and, Oh Brother,
You're in trouble up to your ears!

So you tell four lies to try to protect you
Then you tell five lies so folks wont suspect you
Then you tell six lies and you'll collect
A life filled with worries and fears

'Cause you cant remember how many lies you've told
And half the things you say aren't true
And sometime you'll slip up and then
Whatever will become of you?

So you lie and lie without even trying
And each lie you tell will keep multiplying
'Till the whole wide world will know you're lying
Then you'll be
Suspected
Detected
Rejected
Neglected
Disliked
And you should!
When you lie, you're closing the door
On everything good

I agree with this quote by Tommy. I say I agree because this  makes sense. if it weren't for the determination we all have, nobody would have accomplished anything. Determination is what helps us when we think we cant accomplish anything. determination, is that moment in life when you are about to give up but you think to yourself you can still accomplish it so you give more effort and keep on repeating to do so until you actually accomplish it.
