"Good things bear good fruit. Bad thoughts bear bad fruit"-James Allen

   James is saying that if you do good your life will be full of good things. If you do bad you will be full of rotten things and no one wants to go to a fruit basket and get that one fruit that with one bite makes you sick. When you do good your life will be filled with good things that are fresh. Doing bad will get you to a the bad fruit that grows under the tree. Good things will get you high enough in the tree to get you the best fruit there is. Your thoughts are what you become.

He remembered his players no matter how long ago it was and always made sure that his players knew he still considered them part of family. this man that he was not trying to leave a legacy, but only do what was right and he did.

"CTR connects you to happiness and success. CTW disconnects you."-Mr. Haymore

 This quote is saying that when you choose the right that will guide you to the right path. You will be happy and be someone that matters in life. On the other hand, if you choose the wrong you will be the complete opposite because it does not guide you to a path where you want to be. For example, when my report card came last month i got four A's and two B's and not only were my parents proud of me, but i was proud of myself as-well.
