About This Quote

You should never look at right and wrong as something that is based on personal beliefs. Instead, you should look at it as an objective standard by which to conduct your life. When you are not the judge of your own life, you are being forced to live in a world of personal opinions. You are no longer acting according to the laws that govern the universe, but instead following your own preconceived ideas about what’s right and wrong. This is why people who think they are keeping God out of their lives end up seeing Him everywhere.
