"CTR connects you to happiness and success. CTW disconnects you."

Mr. Haymore

This quote is saying when you choose the right or in other case CTR you will always succeed in life. Choosing the right is the best thing you can do. You will always feel happy and proud about what you have succeed in life. When you choose the wrong you will never succeed in life. You will have consequences in your life. You will regret things that you have done in the past. So always choose the right. For example, if you choose the wrong and still you will feel happy at that moment. But, after you will feel guilty for stealing and you wont be the same.

"Choosing the right is always the right thing to do."

Alex Linares

This statement by Alex Linares is saying choosing the right is always the correct thing to do. He didn't sometimes, most of the time but ALWAYS. If you always choose to the right thing in life, your life will reward you. But, if you choose the wrong there will be consequences in your life. You will feel guilty about it. So always, think before you act. Sometimes, choosing the wrong will sound like a good thing in your mind but in reality is can be the worse thing ever. For example, if you fight in school you are the choosing the wrong. Fighting in school isn't a good thing. You will have consequences. You can get suspended, or expelled. Your parents will be disappointed in you for fighting in school. So always choose the right because its better.

"It's better to be alone than to be in bad company."

Anon

This statement is saying its better to be on your own then to be with someone who only gives bad influences. Its better to depend on yourself because there will be people who will put you down instead of helping you rise. Its better to be alone if the people you hang out with just cause you problems or get you in trouble. For example, if the group of friends you hang out with do drugs and drink and you know its wrong then don't hang with them and be on your own. If the groups of friends don't help you succeed then they aren't your real friends.

"You cannot do wrong and feel right. It is impossible."

Ezra T. Benson

What Ezra T. Benson is quoting here is you cant do something wrong and feel happy about it. It's impossible to feel happy or feel good about yourself knowing you did something wrong. For example, if you steal from a store, at the moment you are going to satisfied you stole whatever it was. But, after days, weeks, or months  you will feel guilty about it. Your conscience isn't going to feel the same. You wont be the same person after knowing you did something wrong. That is just impossible to feel happy of doing the wrong thing.

"I think better to do right, even if we suffer in so doing, than to incur the reproach of our consciences."

Robert E. Lee

I think this statement is saying he will always do the right thing even if it's difficult. He would rather want to suffer than to feel guilty for what he did. Your conscience will always remind you of what you did wrong and remind you of what you could of done right. For example, if a kid sees others doing drugs in a restroom in a school, he should go and tell an adult. Yeah maybe the other kids will punk on him for snitching but at the end he will feel good about himself. His conscience wont feel guilty. So always do right even if its difficult.

The Sting Of The Scorpion

The video i just saw was about a boy who disobeyed his parents and was sting by a scorpion. The little boy was told to wear his shoes because he might find dangerous animals in the desert. But instead of wearing his shoes he put his flip flops and was sting by a scorpion. The lesson of this is always listen to your parents because the only thing they want to do is protect you. There is always one person who is going to look out for you. So dont choose the wrong because you just want to be bad. If you choose the right thing nothing bad will ever occur to you.
