George Chapman

" They're only truly great who are truly good"

I like this quote because its can't be more true. A bad person can't be great, only great at being bad, but that won't do them any good. Good people are truly great because they are the most genuine. Nowadays people are petty and mean so its hard to find a person who is truly great. In my experience the people whom I have met that are great are usually so sweet, and they care about everyone even if they don't care about them. This particular person makes no exception and I admire her for loving and being so kind to those who have wronged her. And in all the time I have known her, I have never heard her say she hate someone. I think this is the definition of a great person, a person who no matter what will always be kind and not make an exception. I hope to be able to follow this example because I admit I am not a good person at times and I have a temper, this friend always encourages me to be kind to everyone.

Dale Murphy

"I won't cheat"
~Dale Murphy

I like the fact that Dale Murphy being a famous athlete said this as well. It is a great example to follow because in sports there is always the temptation to cheat  but this athlete was an exception. In all honesty cheating is wrong and totally not worth it because in the end, it will catch up to you and when it does it will hit you harder than you would have thought. I learned from many people that cheating bites you in the behind after a while and from what they have told me, karma really did get them back bad. I think Dale was courageous to say this because not all athletes say this, even if they are great athletes. When Dale said this, he said it to the public and I feel like he did this so that the audience can learn from that and not cheat, not only in sports but in life. Its way better to achieve things on your own even if you have to fail at times, that's what life is about to keep moving forward.

" Character matters most"
~Dale Murphy

I agree with Dale because overall in anything you do or say, your character will define you. Your character can either say if you are a good person or a bad person, and through your character people will get to know you, whether its your best part or your worst part. Your character does't only matter because of how it presents you to the world but it makes up a major part of your personality. If you show good character in the worst situations it will show that you are a calm person and that your character is easy going. But if you lash out on everyone when you are going through a tough time in your life, you will represent yourself to the world as an aggressive person. So yes you character does matter because it doesn't only define who you are but who the people around are as well.


                     

Benjamin Franklin

" Great beauty, great strength, and great riches are really and great riches are really and truly of no great use; a right heart exceeds all." 

I agree with this quote because the overall thing that affects a person and marks them forever is a great heart. Beauty fades away, your strength weakens, and the great riches you have, one day will end. But a good heart never does and through only this, You can see the beauty that lies within and the strength a person has. It might sound strange that a good heart reflects strength, but it does, there are many things a person has to give up to have a good heart and it takes strength to give up many thing you may care for to have a good heart. Having riches won't make you happy, because i the end if you don't have a good heart you will live like something is missing from your life. If you don't have a good heart, it is no use to have great riches, beauty or strength, it really isn't.
