Ezra T. Benson

Also this quote says that if you do something right you will feel right which is possible. For example if you smoke drugs you will think it is right but it is making this worse and later on you will feel that was the wrong thing to do.

For example if you saw a bully and told a adult you are fighting for the right thing, but if you would kept quiet it would feel guilty in your conscience.

"Tell me what is right and i will fight for it."
Woodrow Wilson

REFLECTION: This quote is saying that if you tell me the right thing then i will keep on doing it and i will fight for the right thing. Also if you don't fight for what is right then you would just do everything for the rest of your life. For example if you are in school and you don't want to go to school you are choosing the wrong , but if you work hard and graduate you fight hard to do the right thing.
