What does Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what's right mean?
There are so many divergent views of morality that some are bound to be wrong. Hence, many people may act out of a sense of morality, but they are not really doing what is right. But the quote by Asimov might be a bit more deep...people often rationalize their actions so that they twist their sense of morality to just do whatever they feel like doing, regardless of whether or not its right or wrong.
Is it better to be right for the wrong reason or wrong for the right reason and why?
Since this is a philosophical question, I can only give a philosophical answer. I feel it is better to be wrong for the right reason rather than to be right for the wrong reason. If one is wrong for the right reason, then I feel they at least had good intentions. If one is right for the wrong reason, then I would have to wonder if their intentions were the right ones in the first place. But the really important thing, in my "philosophical" answer, is for one to be able and willing to admit when they are wrong.
