the circle of life


So here at BYU you tend to hear the same quotes, by some of the same great people all the time. One of them being by Karl G. Maeser about his word of honor... and for all of you who don't know what I am talking about, it really is a great quote and they have it posted all up over the testing center and the Library to inspire us failing college students not to cheat. I love it.


Ready?


“I have been asked what I mean by ‘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 may escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of the circle? No. Never! I’d die first!”
Karl G. Maeser knew what it meant to stand by your honor.  Do you?

Classic.

Anyway, I came across this picture that someone out there in the internet world posted on the facebook and I sure did get a good laugh out of it. So I downloaded it, added a little Photoshop fun to it, and voila!


Enjoy your Tuesday :)
