“When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive.”

-Alan Paton

       Many people don’t forgive others when they do something to them. Others forgive people fast. Others forgive after a long time. In this quote, Alan Paton thinks it’s best to just forgive. The faster the better. The reason is because you recover from that pain faster. According to him, when a deep injury is done to someone, you don’t recover until you forgive that person. You live the rest of your life angry with that person. You won’t be living happy. You’ll always have in mind that person and why you hate them. That’s why it’s better to forgive and live happy.

“Dare to do right.”

-Rex D. Pinegar

       In life you either dare people or you get dared. It’s important to think about your actions or what you tell the other person. It can bring consequences. It can either have a positive or negative impact. Dare people to do something positive. Something that will impact their life in a positive way. Do the dares that help you become a better person. Don’t do the ones that will take your freedom away. Don’t do or say something that you’ll regret in the future. Always dare to do the right thing, and choose the right.

“Dare to stand alone.”

-Thomas S. Monson

       What this means is to stand for what you believe. Even if everyone is against you. Just because you are alone, doesn’t mean you aren’t correct. It can be one correct person against 100 wrong people. Majority doesn’t mean it is right. For example, if you are in an argument with those 100 people. They can be saying that stealing is okay. While you, standing alone says it is not. We all know it is okay not to steal. Choose the right place to stand.
