"Goodness is the only investment that never fails" - Henry David Thoreau 

 This quote means is that you can never go wrong by choosing the right. No matter what you do if you do right nothing will go wrong nothing will fail.  For example if your friend asks for the answer to a math problem, two things can happen. You can either decide to let him cheat which will lead you into getting caught by the teacher and getting your test ripped in half. Or you can choose the right and not let him cheat this will lead into you not getting in trouble and maybe even passing the test. If you choose what is right over wrong you will be able to do many things in life that you thought you were never capable of doing. People who choose the wrong usually end up in the wrong place. This takes them to place were you have no freedom to do anything. Always do what’s best and never let anyone get you in trouble. Always surround yourself with good people and do what’s right.
