"It may make a difference to all eternity whether we do right or wrong today."

-James Freeman Clark

This quote means to me that everyday we have a choice to be nice or bad and whichever we choose can affect our everyday life. Its the little thing in life that add up and if we choose bad everyday you will be unhappy and eternity will follow ,but being nice and being good will reflect you the same way in life therefore our doings make a difference always.

VETERAN'S DAY

Veteran's day is celebrated on November 11th because thats when a peace treaty, or armistice was signed between the US and Germany during World War 1. the name was orignially Armistice Day but was later changed to Veterans Day to honor all soldiers, dead and alive. I think this holiday is great because it shows that we all, as a country, still appreciate the work and lives risked by signing up for the army and fighting for our country. It remembers the unknown soldiers who have passed and the known who are still fighting. Memorial Day and Veterans Day are great holidays still celebrated in honor of our troops and their honorable lives.

"Doing what is right, fair and honorable is more important than winning or losing."

-Chick Moorman

This quote means to me that doing the right thing and being fair to everyone, even yourself, is better than being a winner or a loser because you cant choose between the two in being, say, honest or choosing the right.

"If you hang out with chickens you're going to cluck, and if you hang out with eagles, you're going to fly"
