Robert E. Lee

I agree with this quote because your conscience will always remind you of what you have done wrong while hardships are temporary. These difficulties are temporary and after them you can bask in your glory of your own triumph. That victory could always remind you that it is possible to have success and you should always strive for it.

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing”

What I think about this statement is that in life you are going to have two decisions either choose the right or choose the wrong but the best one is to always choose the right path for your life.
