“Character is higher than intellect.”-Ralph Waldo Emerson

What this quote means to me is that having a good character is better than being smart in life. If you are smart but have a bad character than you can get in trouble and go to jail. If you have great character than you will never have to worry about doing the wrong thing in life.  

"In life as in football, you wont go far, unless you know where the goalposts are."-Arnold H. Glasgow

 

What this quote means to me is that if you don't have your life planned out and don't know what your goals are then you wont get far in life. In order to get far in life you need to have goals planned out for you. If you don't then you wont get very far in life. In the quote it mentions the goalpost so football players know where they are aiming for and where to go. Our goals in life are like goalposts that lead us in the directions we need to go. If you want to be a doctor that is your goal and you can set that as your main goal and work hard everyday to be able to achieve it. 

"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.
