Reflection: what this quote means to me is that in order to live a happy life you have to do what’s right all the time.

“Choosing the right is always the right thing to do.”

Alex Linares

Reflection: what I believe this quote is telling us is that doing the right thing at every moment is the best thing you can ever do.

Example: being hungry and cutting in line to get your lunch is not choosing the right, so just wait in line for your turn. (x

        “It’s better to be alone than to be in a bad company.”

ANON

Reflection: what I believe this quote means is that sometimes we’re around people that aren’t any good to us, and just bring us problems, and so it’s always better to be left alone instead of being around the wrong people.

Example: being around potheads, they won’t bring you any good, instead they’re slowly going to get you into smoking with them. (x

    “You cannot do wrong and feel right. It is impossible.”

Ezra T. Benson

Reflection: what this quote means to me is that when you do something that you know you shouldn’t have done, it’s not possible for you to feel any pride of what you have done.

Ex: lying to your parents, instead of telling the truth. It’s not possible to go on with life feeling good knowing you have lied to them.
