"I have been asked what I mean by the word 'Word of Honor.' I will tell you : Place me behind prison walls-walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground - there is a possibility that in some way or another I might be able to escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give me word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of that circle? No , never ! I'd die first."- Karl G. Maeser
It's easy to tell someone you have their word and then go ahead and turn around and do the complete opposite. It's easy to tell any individual not to do something , but chances are they'll do it anyways. It takes a true and strong individual to keep his word and turn the other cheek. The example in this quote being used is related to being isolated in a jail cell. Giving it the illusion that no matter how impacted and caged you are, this person will find it's way out somehow. No matter how big , tall and strong the walls and gates are. However, when asked to be given your word with the simplest task even if it means not to exit a drawn out circle in the floor. Karl explains how he responded to a question with giving the easiest example , proving and showing the type of individual this man is. A man of his word & honor. Being able to withstand independently without any restrictions or authority, and only by choice is a big and powerful step anyone can do. IT shows courage, leadership and honor.

A right heart
"Great beauty, great strength, and great riches are really and truly of no great use; a right heart exceeds all."- Benjamin Franklin
Benjamin Franklin
Our devious temptations set us off to focus on truly what is right and what is important. Beauty, Money, Strength all the wants but never the necessities of what we deserve and need. Someone with a good heart is all that mattes. We are taught to never judge a book by it's cover. The same scenario applies to human being. We can never judge someone by simply the way they look or for what they can provide. It is what's within and what there persona can provide for us. Many times we are often judged and never truly seen for what is underneath it all. Our rights, our morals, our way of choosing decisions are is what determines ourselves and our hearts and how others see us. None of the little things matter , it is what's underneath that values life itself.
Justice League

The DC Universe (DCU) is the fictional shared universe where
the stories in most American comic book titles published by DC Comics take
place. DC superheroes such as Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman are from this
universe, and it also contains well known super villains such as Lex Luthor,
the Joker, and Darkseid. It should be noted that in context, "DC
Universe" usually refers to the main DC continuity. Main characters from
the DC Universe that everyone is familiar with are Superman, Batman, Wonder
Woman, Flash, Aqua man, Arrow, Green Lantern , etc. . Each superhero contain a
special piece in the book that explains their developments , their childhood
and lifestyles. They also say that
people who read comic books have a larger growth of imagination and creativity
compared to those who do not read comic books. The stories behind these
superheroes are a form of motivation to me in a way since a lot of these
individuals have started from the lowest of low and have worked there way up to
be someone successful and quite smart as well.
