If there is beauty in character, there will be harmony in the home. If there is harmony in the home, there will be order in the nation. If there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world.

Conclusion: If there is beauty in character, there will be peace in the world.

Chinese Proverb 

I agree with this quote because if one good thing happens; then another good thing will happen. And if everybody tries to have beautiful character than the nation and the world will have beautiful character. This is what will happen if every single person in the world would try like this then the world would be a successful, safe, and happy place.

"I would prefer even to fail with honorthan win by cheating."

 

Sophocles

Reflection: I agree with this quote because it is better to lose the right way than to win the wrong way. I would rather not cheat and win something dishonestly than to lose honestly, more people should do that and work hard for what they get instead of cheating. You would feel better losing than cheating if you do it honestly.

“If I’ve got correct goals, and if I keep pursuing them the best way I know how, everything else falls into line. If I do the right thing right, I’m going to succeed.”

Dan Dierdorf

Reflection: I agree with this quote because that’s a good way to succeed and accomplish your goals and everything else will get better. Doing the right thing is as important than not doing the wrong thing, its good for you it’s healthy and can help you live better and happier in life. If people did the right thing as much as they did the wrong thing then their life and everyone else's life would be better and more successful.

"The most important thing you will ever have is good values."

 

Dennis Prager

Reflection: I agree with this quote because it doesn't matter what materials and things you have, but the most important thing is to have good values. Having good values can make you a good and successful person and that is better than having most things you want. Good values are more important than feelings because good values are doing what you should and feeling is doing what you want. Living by the rules of good values can make you have a better, happier, healthier, more successful life. Most of the world doesn't have good values or won't listen to good values which is why it is mostly a corrupt unhappy dangerous world.
