Student Success Statement

“Obedience… is the primary object of all

Sound education.”

Elizabeth Missing Sewell

I think this quote means that in order to learn you must be obedient.

Student Success Statement

“I would prefer even to

Fail with honor

Than win by cheating.”

Sophocles

I think this quote means it is better to lose while being honest than to win while lying.

EX: If the other team is cheating in a game it's best to lose rather than cheat yourself.

Student Success Statement

“The reward for doing

Right is mostly an internal phenomenon:

Self-respect, dignity,

Integrity, and self-esteem.”

Dr. Laura Schlessinger

I think this quote means that when you choose the right you feel good for doing good.

“The essential thing is not knowledge, but character”

-Joseph Le Conte

What this quote is saying is that knowledge doesn’t make a person good. What makes a person good is his/her character. You could be the smartest person in the world but also be the biggest jerk ever. Just because you’re the smartest doesn’t mean you’re the best. A person will always be judged on his/her character not by the amount of knowledge they have.

Student Success Statement

“Educating the mind

Without educating the
 heart is no education at all.”

Aristotle.

You must know what is right and wrong then you can learn.

Student Success Statement

“Goodness is the only investment

That never fails.”

Being good never backfires on you or others. Other thing might fail but goodness doesn't.

Henry David Thoreau

Honesty is the best policy

Four boys arrived at a convinient store one hour after it had closed. Instead of robbing the store they decided to pay for the items they got. The owners of the store went to thank them from not robbing the store.
