"I Won't Cheat"

I agree with Dale Murphy because it is wrong to cheat. At first it may feel right to cheat but it never is. Once you cheat, you will feel guilt inside you you. you cheating shows that you are a CTW person. Him saying "I Won't Cheat" shows that he is a CTR person and he is giving everybody his word that he won't cheat. 

"Character Matters Most."

I agree with Dale Murphy because having character is the most important thing to have. Without it you won't be very successful. It is best to have character than without it. For example it is best to give money to the homeless. Doing that gives you character. Having character shows that you are a kind and humble person. Another example is when you cheat in a sport like baseball you have no character.

St. Patrick's Day

Saint Patrick was a fifth-century Romano-British Christian missionary and bishop in Ireland. Known as the "Apostle of Ireland", he is the primary patron saint of Ireland, along with saints Brigit of Kildare and Columba.St. Patrick's Day celebrates the Roman Catholic feast day of the patron saint of Ireland. St. Patrick died on March 17, 461. Celebrations generally involve public parades and festivals, céilithe (Irish traditional music sessions), and the wearing of green attire or shamrocks.There are also formal gatherings such as banquets and dances, although these were more common in the past.St Patrick's Day, while not a legal holiday in the United States, is nonetheless widely recognised and observed throughout the country as a celebration of Irish and Irish-American culture. Celebrations include prominent displays of the colour green, religious observances, numerous parades, and copious consumption of alcohol. I really enjoy this holiday because 

"Great beauty, great strength, and great riches are really and truly of no great use;a right heart exceeds all."

I agree with Benjamin Franklin because what he is saying is very true. Nothing beats having a right heart. Having a big heart gives so many things that you don't even know. For example when you give money to a homeless person you feel good about yourself. Doing that will gain you new friends and they right to be wise.

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

I agree with James because if you choose the wrong it will not only affect the day you did that deed but for all eternity. Basically if you do do not choose the right it will stay with you for the rest of your life. It is better to choose the right than to live with that fear. An example is if you steal money from your mom, you will feel guilty for he rest of your life if you don't tell her. Not only will you feel guilty but what if your mom actually needed the money for something important then you while feel even more stressed out because she is probably sad and stressed that she thinks that she lost the money, but you are the one that took it.
