          "Dare to stand up alone. Stand up for what is right, even if you stand alone."
                                                      -Thomas S. Monson 

What this means is you can stand up without anyone making you stand up, you can do whatever you want thats a CTR thing without anyone making you do it. This quote from Thomas Monson has such great significance. It can have many meanings or things to relate to. But the one that stands out to me is to say what you think is right. And to stand up or believe in what you think is right. No matter what others think you do what you want. Even if no one agrees with you. Do what you think is good for you and other people. It doesn’t matter if you stand alone, if no one is on your side. I believe choices are meant to be taken seriously because they can affect your life as easily as it was to make the choice. We need to have courage and be brave. We also need to be kind, and think positive. Although at times it can get hard and frustrating, we just need to remember that it will pass. Try to think positive about the situation, and try to think it out before you act on impulse.

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

                                                                 - Sophocles

This statement is true because if you fail with honor you know that you tried your best. On the other hand if you cheat you will always know you didn't win doing what is right. Cheating is dishonorable and won't get you a good name. Everyone will remember you as the 'kid who cheated'. Cheating is not the right thing you should do and you'll regret it for the rest of your life.

"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

I agree with Dan Dierdorf with this statement. Our goals are what we want to do and achieve in life. Our goals are meant to keep us doing right things all the time without hesitation. Our goals are meant to be good and pure instead of wrong one’s. We have to give in all of our best if we want to succeed in life. We have to give in all our best throughout the way. We have to try and not do it wrong the first time or we will have to do it again from the beginning. And there are consequences that come within doing things the wrong way. This quote states that if we do the right thing everything in your life will be good. But it also states that we have to give in our best in everything. And i believe this is true, we have to work hard to get or achieve something. All good things come to those who work hard.
