Student Success Statement

Cowardice asks the question 'Is it safe?'

Expediency asks the question 'Is it politic?'

Vanity asks the question 'Is it popular?'

But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?'

And there comes a time when one must take a 

position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor

popular, but one must take it because one's

conscience tells one that it is right.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

When You Tell One Lie

-Paul Hatch

When you tell one lie, it leads to another

So you tell two lies to cover eachother

Then you tell three lies and, Oh Brother,

You're in trouble up to your ears!

So you tell four lies to try to protect you

Then you tell five lies so folks won't suspect you

Then you tell six lies and you'll collect

A life filled with worries and fears

'Cause you can't remember how many lies you've told

And half the things you say aren't true

And sometime you'll slip up, you'll trip up and then

Whatever will become of you?

So you lie and lie without even trying
And each lie you tell will keep multiplying
'Till the whole wide world will know you're lying
Then you'll be
Suspected
Detected
Rejected
Neglected
Disliked
And you should!
When you lie, you're closing the door
On everything good
