“I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.”

~Abraham Lincoln

What I believe Abraham Lincoln’s state address is that he is willing to be one the correct/wining side if they are true. If they are willing to be completely honest and always be truthful and choosing the right. Abraham Lincoln is giving us advice. For example, if you are on a team that cheats and lies do not stand with them , do not be apart of that group. You be yourself do what you believe in but you always need to choose the right. Abraham Lincoln is willing to stand up for what is right and willing to stand up for the truth. He is willing to use the freedom he has and using it to have a freedom of speech. You always need to be with someone through thick and thin. Some people just want to be victorious by cheating and not playing fair but you have the chance to do the right thing.

“Character is higher than intellect.”

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

In the statement above, I agree with Ralph Waldo Emerson. I agree with him because I do believe that character is so much better than intellect. Character is the one thing that makes you stand out from all the rest from people. You get to decide whether if you want to have good character or bad character. Without character you wouldn’t be able to be your own person. If you have good character then I believe that you will do good things for a good cause. For example you need to choose the right. You need to do good things and not lie. But if you have horrible character then you will do bad things. For example you would always lie and do something you are not suppose to do. That is why I believe character will always be higher than intellect.

“I trust that my hard work will pay off.”

~Tyler Haws

Although this quote may be short, it does have a strong meaning towards it. I agree with Tyler Haws that hard work will always pay off. I agree with him because he earned wining the championship for his team twice. He did not take anything for granted, he had to work really hard in order to achieve his dream and goal. Tyler Haws worked for what he wanted, it was not given too him, he had to work extremely hard. I believe that he was been pursuing his dream for many years and he finally earned it. This statement is related to me because I work really hard to keep my grades up and to keep becoming the person I am. Also I have worked hard to become a better soccer player. Although it is hard to accomplish your dreams and goals, it will be worth it because you would become successful in life by following your dreams and goals.

“True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what’s right.”

~ Brigham Young

I agree with Brigham Young because I believe that in order to get what you want you have to be able to do the right thing. For example if you want a phone or any other electronic you have to prove to your parents that you are behaving, treating people with respect and also doing the right thing 24/7. Then I believe that you will get what you worked for. People and kids believe that they will get what ever they want by doing nothing but many people work really hard to get what they asked for. I believe that freedom cannot work with independence.

“They’re only truly great who are truly good”

~George Chapman

What I believe George Chapman is stating is every act of kindness grows from good people who are doing great.  In my opinion goodness does not act upon by doing greatness, but greatness is goodness. The people who are deciding to do the wrong thing are not great people because in order to be truly good you have to be able to be nice to one another and also need to be respect to adults. For example many children give horrible attitude to their parents or grandparents and the children who do that are not truly good. They may act good in school and may be getting good grades but when they are home their whole personality changes and their attitude as well. No matter what is going on you always have to be nice and treat others with respect.
