I think that this quote is important since your word means a lot. Giving someone your word is one of the most important promises you can make. Your should be a guarantee you will be there 100%. Since your word belongs to you it is your name that will suffer from falsifying your word. Also it is known that people need other people in order for them to survive so if you don't keep your promise you are killing someone .When people rely on you its is because you have done something to make them trust you. Trust is something that is earned. Trust is also something that is not meant to be just used anywhere. To give someone your word means that you trust yourself and you trust that those who trust you trust you . Remember its always better do the right thing than the wrong.

Sophocles Student success statement

"I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating."
-Sophocles 

This quote is very true as many people no longer understand the importance of doing things right. The right thing always makes more sense. The right  thing always has better rewards. The right thing always gives u better pride. Doing the right thing will get you further in life. More people will like you if you do the right thing. Doing the right thing is not always easy. It takes character to do the right thing.  If it was easy to do the right thing everyone would do it. It always better to choose the right.

"The most important thing you will ever have is good values"
-Dennis Prager

This relates to every single one of us.Values is something that you cant live a good life without. If you have values then you would just be a person who lives life with no intent. You would just be someone who simply just waits for their death.  Good values can be the reason that certain people like you or don't like you . As long as you live up to your values then you're doing life right.  battles about values are necessary daily in order to thrive. Good values do nothing but make the best person you can possibly be. If you don't have values then you don't necessarily care about yourself. It also better to the right thing than the wrong.
