"A promise must never be broken." - Alexander Hamilton

          It's just like what Alexander says, a promise is something you should never break. A promise is something you will definitely do. You can make a promise on anything. You can make a promise to yourself, your parents, friends, or a promise about school. If you make a promise then it must mean it is something you want to do and you have to go through with it. If you break a promise you made with someone, you can probably get in trouble or hurt their feelings. It is also important to keep your promises you made to your parents about keeping yourself safe.

"Goodness is the only investment that never fails."- Henry David Thoreau

           What Henry means about this quote is that when you invest in something, there are bound to be problems along the way. But nothing bad will happen when you decide to do good things and become a good person. An example to this is when a investment goes wrong and you just lost all or most of your money. You can't lose anything when you do good. This is why he states goodness never fails.

"It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and unpopular that which is unsound" - Joesph Smith

    Joseph says we need to promote people to do good things. He also wants us to make wrongful things unpopular. For example, helping others when they really need it. A lot of people nowadays will ignore others that need help with something. An example to this is when a parent needs help cleaning up the house or they need help to move something and then the child will then go out to hang out with their friends. Another example to making something unpopular is hazing. Hazing is when there is a new person to a group,band, or a team and they get bullied by other people from that group, sometimes for fun or so they can get accepted to the group, Sometimes hazing can involve extreme physical violence and even in one case, a student died due to hazing.

"Character is higher than intellect"- Ralph Waldo Emerson

                                      This quote is very unstandable and straight foward. Sometimes your character is more important than your intellect. You can be a smart person, but it doesn't mean you can't go to jail. You can be a smart person, but it doesn't mean everyone likes you. You can be dumb, but have more good friends than a smart person.You can be dumb but never break a law. Having a good character is sometimes better than being a intelligent person.

"They're only truly great who are truly good." - George Chapman

              Chapman is saying people who are actually a good person, they are truly great. What he means is that some people just pretend to be a good person. A lot of people will pretend to do this mostly because they want something. Imagine a little kid who always misbehaves until near December. They believe Santa is watching them so they will pretend to be good until December is over. People who are actually a good person 24/7, those are the truly great.

                              Mitchell is saying cheating isn't worth the guilt that will come into your life. Doesn't matter what you cheat in, there is always a repercussion for everything. Even if you haven't gotten caught, you will live in fear thinking one day you will get caught. A lot of people will lose respect for you. If you have cheated in a official sport team before, no one will want you to be in their team.
