“There was never a good war or a bad peace.” –Benjamin Franklin

I think that this quote means that their is never bad good or good bad. That means that when things that are bad happen it is never good. But when you are doing something good what you are doing is not bad. Take war for example. War is full of killing and despair and that is not good and no matter what war and killing is not good. Their is never good war. But peace is good and their is no bad in peace Because in peace is no killing, arguing, or anything that would hurt people emotionally or physically.

“There is a brilliant child locked inside every student.” –Marva Collins

I think this means that every student has their own talents that make them great. Say that you are not good at reading but you are a master mind at math. You may not be a good reader but that doesn’t make you a bad student. Do you know why? Because you are so stinking good at math. You may have a talent that nobody else has and even though you can’t read who cares you can always learn and you are a good student. every body can do something that makes them a great learner.

“Assert your right to make a few mistakes. If people can’t accept your imperfections, that’s their fault.” –David M. Burns

I think this quote means that try your best to make as few mistakes as possible but don’t feel bad when people judge for them. If people think you imperfect that is their fault. But don’t be put down or give up because of it. If people don’t except it again that is their fault, but don’t give up what you like to do by people judging how you do it. Nobody is perfect.

“Education is not the filling of a bucket, but the lighting of a fire” –W.B.Yeats

I think this quote means that when you go to school to learn, it is not to learn new things but inspire yourself to do so. When you inspire yourself to do something new you it is more than learning it because you want to learn it more. When you fill your bucket it is filling your brain with information. When you light the fire you make it more fun for yourself and others so you want to learn more with other people.

“When you go in search of honey, you must expect to be stung by bees.” –Joseph Joubert

I think this quote means when you do some thing like a competition or a contest, try to search for a win but remember. Anything that can go wrong will go wrong. Remember that you do something like a hike expect to get tired. just do your best but expect what will happen or you may not succeed. That is why when you do something challenging at first it will seem harder than when you do it the tenth time. It is because the first time you did not know what to expect. So just carry on and expect the possible.

“The real danger is not that computers will begin to think like men, but that men will begin to think like computers. ” –Sydney J. Harris

I think this quote means that if men start to think like computers then it could be dangerous to that person and even other people. For example, if someone starts thinking like a computer they will brag because they are know-it-all’s. It could also be dangerous to that person because computers are always bossed around on the internet right. Well what if some people come over to this kid who is really smart and thinks like a computer and they start bullying him and asking him something like ” show us some pictures from the internet” or ” Look up this look up that” how will that kid feel when he says I can’t. How will he feel.

“No one really knows why they are alive until they know what they’d die for.”

I think this quote means that no one know why anyone is alive unless they have something to live for. You will know the true meaning of life once you know what life is about. You will also learn the meaning of life when you learn why life ends. But before that happens make a dream and try to leave your mark on the world so everyone know what you lived for, what your goal was.

“A man who won’t die for something is not fit to live.”

I think this quote means that if you don’t do something good in your life that helps some one or makes them happy than your life isn’t as useful as those that try their best to make things right. When you see people are sad how does it make you feel. When you die make sure that you didn’t die because that is what happens to someone to old. Make a dream and try to do it with the time you have. Don’t just live because that’s just happens.

“That old law about ‘an eye for an eye’ leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do the right thing.”

The old law an eye for an eye means that if someone does something to you, you have the right to do it back. For example if you steal something then they will cut your hand of. But this quote is trying to say that doing something like that taking someone’s hand of because they stole from you is just going over the top. The time is always right to do the right thing.

“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”

I think this quote means that in the end we will not remember the words of our enemies but that our friends didn’t stick up for you when that happened. this means that you will never think about bad things that have happened to you if you don’t remember the background to it. When you think about it you remember the people who did it to but in the end you remember that nobody did anything about it.
