“truth is the only safe ground to stand upon.”

Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Reflection: I agree with this statement because truth will bring good things to you. When you are not on the ground of truth then you are not being honest with yourself or anyone around you. And that will only bring bad consequences your way.

Student Success Statement

“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”

--------Calvin Coolidge, 3oth president of the United States-------

Reflection: I think for some reason this quote confused me in so many ways. I have no idea what this means. But what I do think it means is that Persistence is a unique characteristic that all great people should have. I think it means that no other characteristic is as important as persistence itself and with it anyone can find their true talent and use it to be successful in life.

“I think it better to do right, even if we suffer in so doing, than to incur the reproach of our consciences and prosperity.”

-Robert E. Lee

Reflection: I agree with what Robert E. Lee has quoted. It is better to do the right even if it’s hard because afterwards you will get positive consequences. It’s better to do the right and suffer only a little than to do the wrong and suffer with those choices for a long time. It’s good to just do the right when you have the chance than to do nothing or than to do something wrong.
