2. "He who wishes to be obeyed must know how to command". I think this is a good quote because of the fact that if you want to be obeyed then you have to know how ti give the right directions rules. it tells a leader that to become a leader you must learn how to command and saying the right thing tells if you can be a leader or not a leader.

3. "God is not willing to do everything and thus taking away our free will and that share of glory which belongs to us". this shows that our way of doing things sometimes are obviously not always the right way but can be the wrong way. Something were doing wrong is not ending the war it is making more problems that good. A good thing we're doing is political problems are getting solved but not always the easy way.

I like the New York Giants because they are a really good football team. My Favorite basketball team is the Boston Celtics. I love to play Baseball when It comes to playing with friends, I like to play basketball with friends but playing on a team is awesome too. I like playing football on a team but I haven’t done that yet I will be next year, and that’s a sport that I love to play with my friends. During the Summer up at my camp I like to play wiffleball with my friends because we get really competitive when it comes to being fare and playing by the rules most of the time there will be alot of rule changes during the game and it can get very physical throughout the game. Usually after the game we'll go swimming at the beach or of someones dock. When we go to the beach we always have the Skim Boards, Surfboards and a football and there sometimes ends up being an injury when we leave.
