"Ask yourself if it is right or wrong and act accordingly." 

-Otto Graham, Jr.

Reflection: This quote means to me that often times one must question if what they are about to do is right or wrong. If the answer is 'right' then go along and do it, but if the answer is 'wrong' then one should really think about what they are doing and if it should be done. Knowing that what you want to do is wrong yourself, why do it? Plan out a better outcome by choosing the right, and not the wrong.
