“Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act accordingly”

Otto Graham, Jr.

This quote means to always think before you do something that can affect you. You should think if what you are going to do is whether right or wrong because it can affect you. When you do something that you know it is wrong then nothing good will come from it that is why you should think before you take action. For example, when you get asked to go to a party where there might be trouble and lots of bad people, think before you decide what to do because if you do decide to go then it could affect you badly. It would be better if you choose not to go because that way you won’t have any risk and rather stay home where you won’t get in trouble. Think before you take action because you never know what might come out of it. When you know something is right then do it because there will be benefits and you will feel good about yourself. Do what is right and never do wrong, things may happen for a reason , but when you think wisely about it you will be saving yourself from what is bad.

In Acting Well

“Act well your part; there all honor lies”

Alexander Pope

        This quote means that you always need to be choosing the right and always do your part well even if others aren’t. You won’t be honored for doing something that is wrong and if you do it won’t last long because the truth always comes out. If you decide to do something well but the others don’t they are just being liars and people that should not be honored. They well go down but not you if you decide to choose what is right. For example, if you play in a game when people from outside the area are not allowed to play, you are doing wrong. Since you know what are the rules and still decide to do what is wrong then you can’t be honored because you're not doing anything good. Act well because that is the only way that you will get honored because you are choosing to do what is right. Liars don’t get anywhere in life there truth always ends up coming out and it is an embarrassment. That’s why it is important to always act well to be able to be honored.

You will be taken care of

“ If you do what’s right, if you live the right way, you’ll be taken care of.”

Rachel Castillo

This quote means that if you decide to always choose the right then you will be taken care of because you have done good things. Always doing what is right will bring you good things in life and it is like it is repaying you. When choosing the right it benefits you in good ways and when you live right you know that you will always be in good footsteps because you are doing no wrong. When you decide to do what is wrong, it will never bring any good to you because only negative things bring trouble. Wrong is never right because when you do something like that you won’t be taken care of and nobody will return any good to you. For example if you find something lost that does not belong to you it is better for you to return because that is the right way of living and you will be taken care of.

“Right is right only when entire”

Victor Hugo

  This quote means that something is only right when you tell the whole truth. It is never right to tell something and miss out some parts, because you are not being honest and it is not right entirely. It is important to always be honest because you’re fooling yourself and the others. For example, if you go out with a group of friends and you do things that were some what right and other things that was wrong it is important to tell the truth in what really happened. Even if you say what did but left out all the negative, it is not right. Since you are telling the entire story it is not right because you are lying and hiding things from others. It is not right to be doing that because then others will have a lack of trust on you. You are not being right by not telling the whole truth because you say all the good and not the bad which could lead to consequences because it can come back around. Be sure to always say the entire thing because that is right.
