" It may make a difference to all eternity whether we do right or wrong today."

~James Freeman Clarke

Your today is what makes tomorrow if you do the right thing then you will have a good day. If you do something bad then it changes up your entire life. For example, if you see a man who dropped a $20 bill and if you can still catch up to him you decision if you choose right or wrong will determine the future. If you decided to give the money to the man then you will have good karma and you'll have a good day. But if you decided to keep the money then you will get bad karma and you'll receive the consequences for the actions you took. 

“The best way to predict your future is to create it.”

~Charles Ketterer

I agree with Charles Ketterer. This is an amazing statement. When you think about life you also think about your future. For example what are you going be when you grow up. Well that is your decision to make. You are able to be what you want. You can create your own future. You can list your dreams and goals and you will be able to accomplish them. Do not hesitate, always be confident about yourself.

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

~Otto Graham, Jr.

I believe that the quote means is, before you do something you should ask yourself is what you are doing right or wrong. There are always consequences to your actions. You can not base a permanent decision onto a irresponsible mistake. You always need to be aware that what you are doing can effect someone in a emotional and physical way.

“ Act well your part; there all honor lies.”

~Alexander Pope

I believe Alexander Pope is meaning that if you act well you will be honored. For example if you become a leader or a role model to your younger siblings, then they will like to follow your footsteps. You always need to become a good leader and role model because who knows many people would like to follow your footsteps and they will honor you. But if you become a bad leader or role model then your siblings or other people might think it would be cool to be bad and mistreat others. You will probably honor yourself if you do good your whole life.

~Rachel Castillo

I agree with Rachel Castillo because she was doing the right thing. If you are doing the right thing 24/7 then good things will come your way. But if you’re not doing the right thing then karma will come your way. You always need to do the right thing to matter what. Rachel Castillo didnt take the money because when she was young, her family always believed in the bible. For example she stated that in the bible it said, do not steal and do not lie. That is why Rachel did not take the money. Even though she did not get rewarded, she believes something good will come her way.
