“Many think that the short term gain will be worth the long term pain, but it isn’t. In addition, using steroids is cheating, and there is nothing worse in sports than a cheater. Don’t do it. “

George Mitchell, Senate Majority Leader, Presidential Medal of Freedom, Disney Chairman of the Board.

This quote means that cheating isn't worth t. You won’t get anything good about it and it will haunt you for the rest of your life.  Like the quote says, many people think that the short term gain will be worth the long term pain but that isn't true. For example, in a relationship, if you cheat, then that will destroy each other’s trust and even the relationship. It won’t be worth it. You will look back on it every day and know that you did wrong and that you hurt the one person whose world revolved around you. Cheating is wrong in anyway. Don’t do it. 

“I won’t cheat”

Dale Murphy

This quote means simply that he won’t cheat no matter what. For example, he’s taking a test that will determine his next step in life and it is really important. He has to get at least a 98% to pass the test. He needs one more answer to do good but he simply does not know the answer. He will not cheat at all. He will keep his eyes on his own page and will not look around. He won’t cheat.

“Character matters most.”

Dale Murphy

This quote means that character is what matters the most. For example, when you are applying for a job, the person who is hiring you will look at your character. If you lack some character than they will not hire you. If they see that you are on time, can speak well, and look presentable, that show that you have some good character. What’s really inside is what matters. Another example can be that you see an elderly woman crossing the street; you stop what you are doing and go help her cross the street. That shows that you have a great character and that’s what matters in the end, 

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

Benjamin Franklin

What is on the outside does not count, but what is in the inside does. For example, you can be rich and have everything in the world that you want, you can be the most beautiful person, or you can be the strongest person ever, but none of that will matter if you do not have a good heart. All of that is no use.  A good heart is of great use because it matters the most. What is on the inside is what counts. If you don’t have anything and are a good person then your heart will be valued and people will know of you. Having a good heart surpasses all.
