Honesty & Integrity Quote by Juliette G. Low

"Right is right, even if no one else does it" is moral backbone compressed into a slogan - not the cozy kind, but the kind that expects you to stand alone and still behave. Its power comes from the way it refuses negotiation. "Right" isn’t framed as a vote, a trend, or a vibe; it’s treated like a fixed point. The second clause sharpens the blade: the speaker anticipates the most common excuse for ethical drift - everyone else is doing it - and strips it of legitimacy.

Juliette Gordon Low, best known as the founder of the Girl Scouts, was working in an era when women’s public authority was often conditional, policed, and easily dismissed. Read in that context, the line does double duty. It’s personal ethics, yes, but it’s also a quiet training manual for civic courage: don’t outsource your conscience to the room. For girls and women in the early 20th century, "no one else" could describe everything from professional ambition to political participation to refusing the social scripts that kept them small.

The subtext is bracingly anti-herd. Low isn’t promising that doing right will be rewarded; she’s warning that it may be isolating. That realism is why it works. The quote offers a kind of moral independence that feels almost radical now, in an attention economy where "right" often gets mistaken for "popular" and conviction gets measured in likes. It’s not righteousness. It’s responsibility, with no crowd to hide in.
