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

I think what this quote means is that people who do good throughout their life will truly live their full potential. For example, if you are always donating to charity or helping the poor you will live a happy life because you know how much good you are doing and you will be happy with yourself. I would rather do the right thing and be happy and content with myself. Instead doing the wrong thing and be disappointed in myself. In my opinions I would rather everyone do the right thing and be happy because its important to see others happy. I think what the guy did to return the stolen money to the lady was kind of him. I think it was kind because he didn't know if it was hers or not but he wanted to repay his fathers debt. Also for the lady to choose to pay for his bad trip was sweet of her too because she knew it wasn't his fault but he still wanted apologize. I also like what he said about not being like your parents. Just because your parents raised you doesn't mean you have to be like hem. You an be whatever or whoever you want. I think that is very important because some parents expect their children to be exactly like them when they don't have to be.

"When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive." - Alan Paton Forgive: to stop feeling angry or resentful toward someone for an offense, flaw, or mistake. I agree with this quote because it is best to forgive those who have done wrong towards us because you wont ever get past that grudge until you forgive. For example, if someone does something towards you to anger or hurt you, and you don't forgive them, then you will never get past it and it will just damage you. I forgive people when I feel like they are truly sorry and even if they don't  move past it because after a while it become irrelevant and unnecessary to be angry at them for so long. I also think its healthier to let things go because being angry takes a toll on you and on your body and on your mind.

"Intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education" - Dr.Martin Luther King Jr. I think what this quote means is that intelligence is not the only important part of education. You need to have good character in other words you need to be a good person. You can be very smart and that's useful but if your not nice or kind then it won't matter because people won't want to work with you. In the future it is important that people work with you because you can't do everything by yourself. You will need help sometimes and if you aren't kind then no one will want to help you so how will you finish the job. For example if you are a very intelligent person working in marketing but you are greedy and mean and you are given a job to sell a product with a partner no one will want to help you because of your personality. On the other hand if you are intelligent and have a good personality and your are given a job in the same b

"In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing." - Theodore Roosevelt I agree with this quote because when you are given a decision to make you always need to choose the right decision. For example, if you are given the decision to report someone who is being bullied or join in on the bullying. You will most definitely report the bullying because it is the right thing to do and you would be making the right decision. I always try to make the best decision. I always pay attention to how it will impact me and everyone around me. I wouldn't want to make a decision where it's going to impact me in a good way and other in a bad way or vise versa. I would want the decision to impact everyone in a good way, including me.
