“You can’t be right by doing wrong

You can’t be wrong by doing right.”

Thomas S. Monson

What this quote is trying to say is that by doing something wrong, it will never be right and by doing something right it will never be wrong. For example, if you are doing drugs just to be cool, you are doing the wrong thing but if you are taking drugs to improve your health than you are doing the right.
