Doing the right thing

In a million years, I'd rather be wrong and do the right thing than be right and do the wrong thing. That's a lesson I've learned from experience, not any deep source of genius. The longer I live, the more I recognize just how wrong I can be. I only wish I could know it before the fact.

I think that's the history of humanity as much as the story of my life. But it doesn't make either of us more noble than we are.
