“ My basic principle is that you don’t make decisions because they are easy; you don’t make them because they are cheap; you don’t make them because they’re are popular; you make them because they’re right.”

Theodore Hesburgh

This mainly goes to cheating because instead of people choosing to do it on their own they copy from friends because its the easy way out and everybody does it. And if they don’t copy they don’t do it at all. Making a decision because its easier is being lazy, but in the end the lazy person always works double the amount afterwards.

“When you tell one lie it leads to another” - Paul Hatch

I agree with this statement because this mostly happens to almost everyone. After that first lie you have to make another one or else people will be suspecting and after that second lie comes another and another until you get used to lying for everything. Soon enough they’re lying about their whole life. Some people see their mistake and they stop it but other people just go on with it. Not only can they lie about what they did as in talking but also what they are doing can be a lie. When people lie and get away with it they fell in control thinking they can do anything without getting caught. It can lead to cheating on a test and shoplifting. This is why people shouldn’t lie.

“If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it.”

I agree with this statement because most bad things are done when people don’t do good things. I agree most with the second part of the statement because most bad things happen because people tell lies. People start rumors and those rumors get past along to other people. Those who pass the lie along don’t care if they’re are true or not they just spread them, and from those lies become bigger and badder. So, saying a lie is the same as doing something bad. Spreading rumors is just as bad as bullying, true or not. That’s an example of what this quote means to me.
