Karl G Maeser

“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; 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

It means to keep a promise and never break that promise because that shows the lack of honor and trustworthiness. This will make you become an untrusted person in society. I had that issue many times with my parents, I lied, gave them my word of honor and lied in their faces more than 6 times at least. Now I’m giving it my all at school and now are trusting me and rewarding me with new soccer cleats and more freedom. I WILL keep the word of honor to show that I’m trustworthy. I feel like if like got a bit more easier because I’ve been doing my chores even the most complicated ones or the ones that I don’t like, but I have to do it, in their return their trust.

Henry David Thoreau

“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.”- Henry David Thoreau

It means that doing good will never go wrong because it’s right and good decisions won’t ever be wrong. I went to a to a tuti fruity by Pacific and found a 50$ bill outside the shop, I said to myself, with that money i can buy a big cup with a lot of toppings, then i saw a lady looking through her purse and the lady asked the cashier if she had change for a 50 $ bill, she said yes and she looked in her pockets and they were empty, I told her that I found a 50 $ bill outside the store and she felt relieved and thanked me many times, she told me that for my act of kindness and generosity she will pay for my cup and after, we went our own separate ways. We both felt good because when you do good you feel good, and she felt good because she found her money and because she bought a children a cup of ice-cream. I came home and questioned myself, Why don’t  people do right, it WILL make them feel good about themselves and about that they did it so then I answered, that's the way of the world.

George Mitchell

“Many think that the short term gain is worth the long term pain, but it isn’t. In addition , using steroids is cheating, and there’s nothing worse in sports than a cheater. DON’T DO IT!- George Mitchell

This means that if you win or lose, do it right without cheating your way in or out because you will get caught and cornered. Your lies will all consume you little by little and you will regret doing whats wrong.
