Awesome quotes, man! :D Here's my take on a few:

1. You have the choice to be good or be bad...which one you choose depends only on how strongly you feel about it and how willing you are to commit to being good or being bad.

2.The things that seem really important and tough to you as a kid, as an adult you'll realize how unimportant they are (think about how important a chemistry test is to a junior, as opposed to how important it is to a 30-year-old with a family and bills and a house and car, etc.).

5. If you make your life an unbelievable triumph, you'll be remembered long after your 100 years or so... kind of like Ghandi or Cicero! :)

7. If you learn from your mistakes, you rarely will repeat them.

9. Being self-centered sucks. Being a volunteer, involved in good causes or unselfish to those that need us simply make us better in the long run.

14. Stretching yourself makes you proud of what you can do. By being lazy and uninspired, there's no way to be happy.
