NEVER

“There is no justification ever for choosing any part of what you know to be evil.”

Ayn Rand

 I think that this quote means that it’s never okay for you to something wrong. First of all, because you don't need to. And second, it doesn't give you anything in return but a guilty conscience. And it's living a bad life.

“The Three Nevers”

v  Never lie

v  Never cheat

v  Never steal

-John Wooden

I think that this statement is trying to say that people need to stop and think about what they are doing and what they should be doing. Sometimes some people don't realize what they did until they finally understand that what they did was wrong. If people would stop and think about what they are doing they wouldn't have hurt anyone or themselves.

“I think it better to do right, even if we suffer in so doing, than to incur the reproach of our consciences and prosperity.”

Robert E. Lee.

I think this quote means that it’s better to do what’s right if it hurts a little, than to lie which will hurt more once it catches up with you, you won’t be able to escape it.

A five Medal olympic girl named Marion Jones went to jail for using drugs. she had to many investigators about her drugs until the truth  caught up with her.
