Conclusion:

if there is beauty in character 

there will be peace in the world. 

-Chinese Proverb 

This means everything is about character. The way you do things and how you act with people will determine how they act with you. When everything is good in the family, you will go out there and do good .When you and your family are having problems you will most likely be aggressive and full of hate, This leads to being mean which can then lead to fighting and that is not peace. In order to have beauty in our character we all must be treated equal. The rich should not get any special privileges. White people should not get special treatment. Black people should not be getting shot so many times by police officers and hispanics should not be told to go back to their country. Until the people who lead this country have beauty in their character, we will not have beauty in ours therefore leading to a world without peace. Once you get the racists, homophobics,sexist and people who think they should have a right to someone else's body that is when everyone will have beauty in their hearts. 

Character is higher than intellect.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson

I think this statement is true. The reason is because when you are a good person things will come naturally.An intellect can solve problems when it comes to equations or anything school related. A person of good character can solve everyday problems. It does not matter if you are the smartest person because if you do not have good character no one will like you. In this day and age it is good to have a good character because now in days it is better connections to work for the big companies. Although you are smart and can solve problems communicating and always having a nice attitude hires.

    "Character matters most" - Dale  Murphy 

I agree with this statement. The reason being is because no matter how good you are at a sport or at singing or stuff like that people will never like you if your character is not good. Cheating to be the best is not in good character either. The reason I say this is because sooner or later you will not feel accomplished or anything if you do not work hard for it. You will get your 5 seconds of fame for cheating and being the best. But if you get caught cheating at anything it will ruin your reputation. If you do not get caught your guilt will eat at you, you will feel like a loser in the long run. When you work hard and have a good character a good mind and try to be the nice and the best person you can be you are most likely to feel good and have good character.   

WHAT IS THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO FOR THIS COUNTRY ?

               Educate the body,mind, and character- Theodore Roosevelt

I think this statement is very true. In order to become more united we must have great character. We must help people around us when they need help. We must care and have justice for everyone no matter what their skin color of sexual preference is. We must stand together to get equality for all not just white people. We must educate our mind meaning knowing our facts straight. Knowing right from wrong and how to say no when you want to.Educating our minds also means thinking positive and hoping for the best.  We need to educate our body that not everything that feels or is good is healthy or acceptable. Drugs and alcohol do not help educate your body neither does junk food. In order to educate your body you will need to exercise, eat healthy and live good.Remember always ctr.
