Quote Meaning

If I do something wrong it would be more wrong if I do another wrong to make it right. More wrongs don't make a right. We should set the example.

Additional Information

I am not a historian and I really don’t know much of anything about Benjamin Rush, but the saying, “two wrongs don’t make a right” is a lesson I learned when I was a little boy. This naturally transitioned into my family and it is said on occasion.

The reason I decided to include this quote on our website, is the example part. I had never heard the, “be the example” conclusion to the quote.

This year, we have been focused on getting more done, more action. So when this quote popped up on the RADAR, we decided to include this as a call to action.

If you are wronged, do not retaliate with an equally wrong action, but with an action that wild be the one you would want to share with someone.

You can never go wrong with doing something that is right…

If you want to learn more about Benjamin Rush, I suggest you read more about him on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Rush.

Recommended Books or Audio Books: It looks as though Benjamin does have quite a lot of writings and even some ISBN’s, but I have never read anything of his. If you have a suggestion please feel free to share with us by writing to info@lifehacktees.com
