Many people often believe that winning is everything. But that is a false misconception, as winning is not in fact everything. It is much more important in choosing the right than to win. If you win by cheating there will be no honor for you. No one is going to look up to you or like you, but instead people will being to despise you and hate you for the actions you did. Now, if you win something by working hard and striving for your best, well there is honor in that and so people will begin to respect you. Same thing with being fair, you will gain respect from other and those around you. Winning may bring happiness to you, but if you yourself know that you cheated, then  you will begin to feel guilt within yourself. There is no way that you can cheat and lie and still feel good about it afterwards. If you are taken part in an event and you work hard but still lose, you will feel satisfy with yourself as you yourself know that you work hard and try your best to get to where you are.

Example: An example of this can be seen during the presidential elections. Many people believed Hillary rigged the primaries in order to beat Bernie Sanders, and people who spoke out against her would mysteriously die or disappear. Many people view this has a form of cheating, so as the quote suggested many people did not respect nor honor her.

True Wealth is of the Heart, Not of the Purse Most people envision wealth as having lots of money assets and a larger income. Well this is true, true wealth comes from inside and how you are as a person. This quote is similar to that of " money cant buy happiness" as both quotes leverage your emotional power over that of money. From wealth, Pathros means how fulfill you are as a person. If you do things out of your heart you'll be rich in happiness. You will have no regrets as to what you did and you're life will be peaceful. This is what he means by wealth not actual physical money. Sure you may have lots of money and can buy anything you want but that doesn't actually mean you'll be happy.

“The best recreation is to do good” William Penn William Penn is right about the words he stated. Recreation is something you do to relax yourself and make you feel better. Examples of recreation could be things such as swimming or playing sports. Well what better way to make yourself feel better than by choosing to do good. There is no negative outcomes when you choose to do the right thing. So by choosing to do good as your recreational activity, you will feel better than ever before. If your recreational activity is something bad such as smoking or drugs or something to that effect, than you will feel bad. This all traces back to choosing to do the right and always opting out for the good instead of evil. Penn was a Quaker, an early religion in America, and his religion often stressed the importance of good such as banning slavery and equality for women, so it makes sense that someone like William Penn would come up with this quote. I do agree with what William Penn is sayi
