Character quotes

December's Wildcat Wednesday is almost here! Here are a few quotations about character to think about:

"Everyone tries to define this things called Character. It's not hard. Character is doing what's right when nobody's looking." -Author Unknown


"What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us." -Ralph Waldo Emerson


"The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically... Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education." -Martin Luther King, Jr.
"To wish you were someone else is to waste the person you are." -Author Unknown


"I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self."- Aristotle


December's character trait is self-control. What is self-control, and why is it important? How can we practice self-control this month and throughout the year?

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone is enjoying their Thanksgiving break! Relax, eat lots of turkey, but don't forget about your Egyptian project and book report due in just a few weeks. See you on Monday!
