“ I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody who stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he is wrong.”- Abraham Lincoln

What this quote means to me is that people don't always win in life. It is better to be true. To always do the right thing. Also to affiliate with people who do the right thing. Don't hang around bad people. Don't become those bad people. Be a good person in life and do the right thing. If people around you do the wrong thing then you do the opposite and do the right thing. Always be a person of good character. If you do the wrong thing then you will get in trouble and be punished. If you do the right thing then you will be successful and happy and also will be rewarded for your kind acts.

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

What this quote means to me is that if you are always kind and do the right thing then it will never backfire. You have to always do the right thing in life and it will never go wrong. If you invest in bad things then you will not prosper. On the other hand if you invest in good things in life then you will be rewarded and will have a successful life. You have to always invest in good things so that you can get good things in life. If you don't then you will be miserable and things will backfire. You will never fail if you choose to invest in good.

“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

What this quote means is that if you give your word of honor you should keep that promise. That is because that promise can change many things in your life. Just the fact that is says your word of honor means something big. I think it means that you are willing to trade your honor for a promise. This is so that people will see you are trustworthy. However if don't keep that promise, people will see that you can't be trusted. Then no one will want to be around you or talk to you. People will see that you were willing to give up your honor for nothing because you didn't keep your promise. For example you promised your mom that you would bring the eggs to her without a single on cracked or dropped. However on the way home you decide to play basketball with some friends you saw. you left the eggs on the bench and someone fell on them. Now you mom wont trust you to ever do anythying important for her.

“If I've got correct goals, and if I keep pursuing them the best way I know how, everything else falls into line. If  I do the right thing right, I'm going to succeed.” Dan Dierdorf

What this quote means to me is that If you plan good goals for yourself and do the right thing then you will be rewarded.What this quote means is that no matter what your set as your goals that you really want and keep on thinking or believing you want it then sooner or later the goals you wanted will soon fall and get to you. It’s another way of saying follow your dreams and never give up on then no matter what happened or what people say. You need to plan out your goals or wishes out good because then your life could change forever.

“It's a great moment when someone has character to step up and do the right thing at the right time.”-Pam Knox

What this quote means to me is that people should have enough courage and character to do the right thing when the moment becomes opportune. It is a great thing when people do the right thing without having to ask someone to do it. You should have enough good will to be able to do the right thing at the right time. Do not follow others. If you know something is right then do it immediately. If you know something is wrong quickly avoid it and don't be apart of any of it. You have to be able to do the right thing at the right time whenever an opportunity comes. You shouldn't stop doing the right thing just because others don't do it or it isn't “cool”. You do the right thing simply because it is the right thing to do.

“The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self respect, dignity, integrity and self esteem”- Dr Laura Schlessinger

What this quote means to me is that to do the right thing in life to raise your character. If you do the wrong thing than you have bad character. If you do the right thing your good character will increase. It will make you a better person. It's the reward for doing the right thing. Doing the right thing has a reward of raising your integrity and dignity and also self esteem. Character is what matters most in life.

“You knew what I was when you picked me up”-Rattlesnake

The indian had climbed up on the top of the mountain. He had found a snake and it was asking for help. The indian did not want  to help because he was gonna get bit and die of poisoning. The snake was persuasive and the indian took it down the mountain. As soon as he put the snake down the snake bit him and the indian was hurt. The snake left and the indian died.

"Right is right only when entire"-Victor Hugo

What this quote means to me is that when you tell a truth your supposed to tell the whole truth otherwise its a lie. You choose the wrong when you choose to only say half the truth when you know your supposed to be the right thing and telling the whole truth. You should always tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. When you tell half the truth then it always ends up coming back to you and if people find out then they will not like you. People who know that you like to tell lies will never trust and you and never believe you when you tell them the whole truth. So its always better to tell the whole truth as oppose to only half of the truth. Half of the truth will get you into problems and when you choose to tell the whole truth then you are choosing the right. 

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

What this quote means to me is that if you follow the right path it will lead you to success without you  having to worry about it. When you do what is right you never have to worry about anything going wrong. You don't have guilt that makes you worry about every little thing in life. When you choose to do the right thing you take off a huge burden off your back because your not do anything bad that will worry you in life. You will be use to staying out of trouble and choosing the right thing all the time. When you do what is wrong you will constantly feel guilty and be worrying about the consequences. You will be more likely to always be in trouble and be choosing the wrong. Choosing to do and live the right way will help you to be taken care of. You have nothing to worry about when you choose to do the right thing in life. 

"Only those live who do good."-Count Leo Tolstoy 

What this quote means to me is that only people who do good in their lives are really living life. Those who choose to do bad things never prosper or do anything worth meaning in life. In order to fully live life you need to be able to do the right thing. Doing good is better in life than doing the wrong thing. Those who choose to do the wrong thing never get anywhere in life and always struggle. On the other hand those who choose the right thing always get ahead in life and never seem to struggle. They are more optimistic. Those who choose the wrong are always pessimistic. In order to live life happy one must do the right thing all the time. That's the way to get the best experience out of life itself.

"What you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player."-John Wooden

What this means to me is that being a good person is far more better than being a good basketball player. Having good sportsmanship is far better than being good at basketball and always wanting to win. John Wooden emphasized the importance of being a good person and not just being a good player. He wanted his players to always choose the right and be good individuals. As a result they became better players and won a lot of basketball games. If you choose to do the wrong then they would have lost the games and been bad individuals.
