“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.”

Theodore Roosevelt

I think what this quote means is that often when we are presented with a choice where you have to pick an option, we think and think and think about it so much when it honestly isn’t even necessary. There has to be an obvious right choice in what you should do. So that decision would be the best one you can do. I think by him saying this quote he wants people to understand that there is always a right choice and you should always go for that one. The second option isn’t even a choice. The right choice outweighs the bad. So I agree with him; choosing the right thing to do is the best thing we can all do when we are faced with a conflict. 

“My basic principle is that you don’t make decisions because they are easy; you don’t make them because they are cheap; you don’t make them because they’re popular; you make them because they’re right.”

Theodore Hesburgh
I think what Theodore is trying to say from this is that your decisions aren’t based on influence, they are based on what you think and feel is right. He is saying you aren’t going to make a decision just because it is popular, or cheap or easy; you are going to make decisions because they benefit you. If a decision you think is wrong he’s saying you shouldn’t make it because only you know what is right. 

“It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and unpopular that which is unsound (not good).”

Joseph Smith
I think what Joseph was trying to say by saying this is that every human being can tell right from wrong, and that what everyone should be doing is giving attention to what is sound and good. To what is positive and impacts us in a positive way. The negative and wrong things should have no attention and no popularity. I think he is trying to encourage us by doing what’s right so everyone can know the positive things that are going on. 

“Every time I’ve done something that doesn’t feel right, it has ended up not being right.”

Mario Cuomo 

I think what Mario Cuomo means is that if you’re doing something that doesn’t feel right, you shouldn’t do it. It always ends up being wrong. If you get that gut feeling that what you’re doing is wrong, then it most likely is wrong. You could stop yourself from committing a mistake and having bad consequences. 

The 3 questions:

1. Can people trust me to do what’s right?
2. Am I committed to doing my very best?
3. Do I treat people the way I want to be treated?

Lou Holtz

“If the answers to these questions are YES, there is no way you can fail.”

I think that people can definitely trust me to do what’s right. I wouldn’t do what’s wrong and suffer the consequence. I would say that I am committed to doing my very best but not fully committed. If I was fully committed then I would actually do anything possible to do my very best. There have been a lot of chances to do my very best but sometimes I don’t take them, and I think that’s what I need to work on. Being fully committed. I always treat people the way I want to be treated. I don’t believe in being unfair. I hate people who are unfair and I dislike people who treat others wrong.  

“If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it.”

Marcus Aurelius
This quote is easily understandable and it is something we should always follow. If you know something is wrong why do it? If it is going to get you into trouble why even think about doing it. Every actions has a consequence, a bad action has a negative outcome, so we should not do the wrong things. If you also know something is not true, or you hear someone saying something and you know they’re wrong you should spread the rumors. You’ll just be getting yourself in the mess just cause you said something that you know wasn’t true. 

Right is right even if everyone is against it. Wrong is wrong even if everyone is for it. – William Penn

To me this quote means that despite whether everyone is doing it or isn’t doing it, right is right and wrong is wrong. Always do the right thing even if nobody is doing it. Just because everyone is doing something that isn’t right doesn’t mean that you have to do it. You don’t have to follow where people go. 

"You cannot do wrong and feel right. It is impossible."

Ezra T. Benson

For me this quote says it all. When you do something wrong that you're not supposed to do and you know its wrong you will end up feeling guilty. You wont feel right because you know what you've done and that you made the wrong choice. So doing something wrong won't make you feel right. Not good or proud of yourself. In the other hand, doing something right will make you feel right and glad because you made the right choice. Doing something wrong and you feeling right, it just doesn't make sense. It's actually pretty impossible to do something wrong and feel right. Sooner or later it will come back to you and make you feel guilty and wrong.
