"Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it."

-William Penn

To me this quote means that no matter what the situation is and if it looks unpopular or anything and if it is right, then it is right no matter what people have to say against it. even if other don't agree with you that it is right , it is. Also say goes for the wrong. If something is wrong by a little or by a lot, it is still wrong. For example, if i know that doing my project in class is going to make me pass the class, i am going to do it even if my people say i shouldn't.

Cowardice asks the question ' Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question 'Is it popular?'
But, conscience ask the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right.

-Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 

 I think this quote is very important and historic. In this quote he is trying to say that no matter how unpopular or dangerous a decisions, if it's the right one, you should take it. He is saying that your conscience is always right. Do what you have to do no matter how many people disagree with you. For example if you want to accomplish something and you have all these people telling you negative stuff, ignore then and accomplish what you want and prove them wrong.

"Right is right only when entire."

-Victor Hugo

                           

To me this quote means that it is only right when you do every single little thing to it right. You never leave or do a little thing wrong. For example, a group of students are doing a math project. So far they have done every thing good and right but then they remember they didn't do one problem, so they just know the answer and just put it but they didn't show their work. They didn't do right because they didn't show their work and everything else was right. It wasn't done right entirely.

"That which we persist in doing becomes easier to do, not that the nature of the thing has changed but that our power to do has increased."

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

                      

I really like the quote the Emerson says. What i get from it is that hes saying if we want to accomplish something and you keep practicing, it will become easier to accomplish. Since you keep practicing, you then have more power to get it done faster. For example, i wanted to run the marathon, so throughout the months i kept on practicing and practicing and I was ready for the marathon and got a time that i wanted.

"Your worth consists in what you are and not in what you have."
- Thomas Edison, Inventor


To me this quote means that it doesn't matter how much you have because when yo die or leave from this world you will not take anything with you, the only that matters that make you worth is what is in you and what you are. You can have a lot of you can have a little bit in life, but if it is not you then it doesn't matter.

You can increase your values by always being honest and being a good person.

When You Tell One Lie

When you tell one lie, it leads to another
So you tell two lies to cover each other
then you tell three lies and, Oh brother,
you're in trouble up to your ears!

So you tell four lies to try to protect you
Then you tell five lies so folks won't suspect you
Then you tell six lies and you'll collect
A life filled with worries and fears

'Cause you can't remember how many lies you've told
And half the things you say aren't true
And sometimes you'll slip up, you'll trip up and then
Whatever will become of you?

So you lie and lie without even trying
And each you lie you tell will keep multiplying
'till the whole wide world will know you're lying
then you'll be
Suspected
Detected
Rejected
Neglected
Disliked
And you should!
When you lie, you're closing the door
On everything good.

"The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in  DETERMINATION."

-Tommy Lasorda

                                    

The quote that Tommy Lasorda is providing us is a really good quote. What I understand from it is that weather you think something it impossible or weather it is possible it will determine your results. If you believe something is impossible you're a failure and if you believe something is possible and put in effort to make it become possible, you will be successful. For example, with our 100+ goals, if we believe we cant make them come true we are a failures, but if we make them come true and practice them, we can live the life we dream of.

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined." 

-Henry David Thoreau

This is a really good quote by Henry Thoreau. To me this quote means to always follow your dreamsWith a lot of anticipation in whatever it is that you will like to accomplish. What I think he means by saying 'live the life that you have imagined' is to practice our dreams and get them accomplish so that way we can live the experience of what we always dram of. For example, if we read our 100+ goals everyday, we already have a direction in which we are trying to go or reach. Once we have completed or reach that goal, we are already living the life we were imagining.
