"对的事情,即使没有人去做,依然是对的;错的事情,即使所有人都在做,依然是错的。"

Saint Augustine

Simplified Meaning:

No matter what others are doing, good actions remain good, and bad actions remain bad. Imagine you are in a classroom where everyone is cheating on a test. If you choose not to cheat, you're doing the right thing, even if you are the only one. On the other hand, if everyone is lying about something and you know it's wrong, telling the truth is still the right choice. It highlights the importance of following your moral values and not just doing what others do. This idea can help guide your decisions, making sure you do what's ethical, even when it's hard. It means standing up for what is right, even if it means you stand alone.
