Good Values ''The most important thing you will ever have is good values.'' Dennis Prager What Dennis Prager is saying is that you should value good things. A person who kills should value human life instead of killing. A person who steals should value not stealing. Its not good to not value the good things. Some people may think that you should care more about your feeling than valuing. Its more important to value than care. If your dog was drowning but then you see a person drowning as well who would you save? If you save your dog that is feelings because you care about him and you don't want him to die.

''I have been asked what I mean by ' word of honor. ' I will tell you: Place me behind prison walls-walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground-there is a possibility that in some way or another I might be able to escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word or honor never to cross it. Can I get out of that circle? No, never! I'd die first.'' Karl G. Maeser  Having honor is very important. When you show honor it shows the type of person you are. You can show honor in your everyday life. It also affects you in school.

Its your choice to show them honor by going to the library and meeting them. If you don't show up that just being rude and not showing honor. An example of how you show honor in everyday life is when your parents as...

Who you are as a person is important. An example for this quote is if you're taking a test and you don't cheat. That's showing good character.
