“Character is higher than intellect.”-Ralph waldo Emerson

This means that to have a good character is way better then to know everything. Although academics and knowing a lot help to have a good character is above all because if you have a bad attitude and you're the smartest you would be nothing due to your character which makes you the person that you are .to have a good character means that you will do everything that you can to help others around you and you will always be in your best possible behavior.over all the person you are is what matters because in the end you show character and everyone shows their different strengths of intelligence.although once in awhile students are labeled by their intelligence they are usually labeled by their character that shows and the attitude used to interact with others in the everyday lifestyle.

"you cant be right by doing wrong; you cant be wrong by doing right." - Thomas s Monson 
 in agree with this quote because when you are with  a group of friends and someone says to do something bad they will try to convince you that its right , possibly even the other way around. many people dont really know whats right anymore because they think what wrong is going to be right and whats wrong is right now. many have things wrong and really dont know the difference .i agree with this quote because by saying some one is wrong you cant really justify it in personal words.in reality you now have to know whats really right and if its right then do it and if its wrong there will probably be no way to ever make it right .to summarize you and every one should just do the right thing and there will be no option or debate as to what really is the right thing to do.
