When everyone does what is right in his own eyes, there is no possibility of order and peace.

Billy Graham
About This Quote

There must be an authority to set out what is right, because everyone will inevitably do what is right in his own eyes. When people are not under any authority, they will try to follow their own opinions, which is never the same as the law. Without an authority to set out what is right, it is impossible to create order and peace.
