Character Matters Most

“Character matters most.”

-Dale Murphy

         This short but truthful  statement said by Dale Murphy is a really good quote. The reason I really like this quote is because it is true. You can be the richest person alive but, it is more important to have a great character. An example of this can be when you compare MLK with Hitler. Hitler was the leader of Nazi Germany, and even though him and his soldiers were conquering many other countries, he is less of a man compared to Martin Luther King Jr. The reason I say this is because, even though perhaps MLK left a smaller mark than Hitler, MLK was a peaceful and respectful man unlike Hitler who had millions killed under his leadership.

St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick’s Day is a holiday adopted from Ireland that many Americans celebrate today. St. Patrick’s Day is a cultural and religious celebration held on 17 March, the traditional death date of Saint Patrick, The foremost patron saint of Ireland. We celebrate St. Patrick’s Day because it  celebrates the Roman Catholic feast day of  the patron saint of Ireland. We wear green on St. Patrick’s Day because it is associated with Catholics in Ireland.  Green ribbons have been warn on St. Patrick’s Day since the 1680s.

A Right Heart

“Great beauty, great strength, and great riches are really and truly of no great use; a right heart exceeds all.”

-Benjamin Franklin

         What this quote means is that, It doesn’t matter if you have the best looks or strength, it doesn’t matter if you are the richest man in the world, What truly matters is if you have your heart in the right place. An example of this can be the president Donald Trump. He might be one of the richest men in the world but it doesn’t matter because his heart is no in the right place. A homeless person can be a greater man than Trump. Another example of this is with charity donors.  They may not be the richest people but they are great people. This is because they give and don’t expect to get something in return. Another example of this are volunteer workers. They are better people than those stronger and richer than them. This is because volunteer workers give their time and effort to help others before themselves.

What We Do Today

“It may take a difference to all eternity whether we do right or wrong today.”

-James Freeman Clarke

This quote said by James is really truthful statement. It may take years to make our character improve, but it only takes one to decrease it. An example of this is with Donald Trump. Before he ran for the 2016 election he wasn't really a person the majority of us don’t like. It only took him one day to be one of the most hated people in the world by an entire ethnic group.
