“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” – Aristotle

What this quote is trying to say is that if you are going to learn something your heart should also learn something new. If your heart does not learn it then it is not actually education. An example for this quote is if learning to become a doctor but you are only doing it for the money and not for the feeling of helping people then you actually didn't learn anything.

“Choosing the right is always the right thing to do.” –Alex Linares

What I think this quote means is that choosing the right is always the best thing to do, it’s not sometimes wrong, not even a little bit wrong. Choosing the right is always the best thing to do hands down. For example your friends are drinking in a party it is always better to choose the right and say no if they offer you a drink or go home if you have to. Another example is if your friends are smoking just say no to them.
