''You can't be right by doing wrong; you can't be wrong by doing right."
Thomas S. Monson

Mr. Monson is trying to point out that in life choosing the wrong will never ever feel right. In other words it isn't the correct path to choose, or the right thing to do in general. Mr. Monson is also claiming that choosing the right will never be wrong no matter what the circumstances are. This also reveals that choosing the right .

Right

''If your so called friends urge you to do anything you know to be wrong, you be the one to make a stand for right, even if you stand alone. Have the moral courage to be light for others to follow."

I like this quote, because in life sometimes you carry false friendships with certain people. In this world, we have bad and good people. Some people choose to follow bad people. These people end up doing the wrong and get themselves into a repreccussion. I feel like any person wanting me to do the wrong is no friend at all. In fact, those are the people i want to stay away from. This might also be known as peer pressure. I heard serious cases, where a supposed friend influenced his buddy, to do some drugs. Sometimes a ''supposed friend'' even attempts murder, and wants you to cover up his incident. This is literally an enemy, and no friend at all. A friend should be someone who is empowering, and someone who influences you to choose the right. Personally, I had fake friends, that wanted me to do some sort of bad. I instead turn the other direction, and took a stand for myself to be better than them. When Mr. Monson says, ''stand for the right, even if you stand alone'', he means do the right, no matter how those fake friends see you. Even if you stand alone, you'll be glad you didn't chose the wrong like those horrible friends did. At the end, only misery, and consequences kicks in for those fake friends that chose the wrong. You can't be alone forever, anyways, because there are still good people out there, waiting to become anyone's friend. That's why we should always be strong and smart enough to choose the right, and not follow those paths were your fake friends are heading. We should always stand up to them.
