“We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community…Our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own.”

~Cesar Chavez

I believe this quote means we need to make time to help others around us instead of making all the time in the world about us.  Helping others will help us earn kindness, happiness, and hope, that we can make a difference in the world and make a better life for those you have just entered. We have hope when we see the smile on people’s faces that we can do more for them and for ourselves to become better people.

“Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.”

~Sir Winston Churchill

I think this quote means that courage may be something you use to stand up to someone or something, but sometimes it takes courage to sit down and pay attention to what your opponent or enemy is saying. Taking the time to stop and listen will help you learn many things and it will help you through life.

“What I admire in Columbus is not his having discovered a world, but his having gone to search for it on the faith of his own opinion.”

~Turgot

I think this qoute means that whenever we believe in something that we are not sure of even though it is just based on blind faith but we know it’s there, and everyone is telling us that there is no such thing, it is our own opinion that drives us discover as Columbus did. You never know if what you believe that no else does, will be something that will save maybe the whole world.

“The mark of great sportsmen is not how good they are at their best, but how good they are at their worst.”

~Martina Navrátilová

To me this quote means great sportsmanship is when we show we can always try next time when we don’t score a goal or make a shot. Telling yourself, you can try again and this time i will do my best. If you push yourself too much, you can score the wrong goal but pushing yourself to practice will drive you to succeed.

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

~Joseph Joubert

I think this quote means, we should have adventures and find different places to travel , but we have to know that there will be hard times. Knowing that there will be hard times doesn’t mean that we have to stay in one place and stay there till someone goes to help us up, it means to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start again. It may not be easy, but at least there will be honey to keep.

“No two leaves are alike, and yet there is no antagonism between them or between the branches on which they grow.”

~Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

I think this quote means that even though everyone is different we shouldn’t always hold a argument to them.  Judging them even though they are from a different tree is something good about them. You and I will make the world beautiful even though we have different colors.

“Ask not for an easy life…ask for the strength to face the elements, to weather the storms; to be the might for the right and the weak, to be the voice for those who cannot speak, to see one’s dreams to fruition with dignity, integrity, and grace.”

~Giac Nguyen

I think this quote means strengthening ourselves for a worthy cause instead of something unworthy can help those who need it. We need to be there to help those who were lost in storm instead of lettingn them drown. Give them courage to fufill what they want to do with grace. The world may be bitter now, but with those who are strong, the world can change into something far more better.

“Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground. Let their spirit ignite a fire within you to leave this world better than when you found it.”

~Wilferd A. Peterson

I think this quote means that we should be those who will make an impact on peole. People may change the way they look at diferent things in the world. We find the world in loss and sadness, but we can change it by showing love to those who have lost, spread happiness and peace around.
