Random quote

The good man will do what he perceives as right, without reference to the laws on the books.

The evil man will do what he wants, without reference to the laws on the books.

It is the morally ambivalent man—the one who calculates the gratification he could get versus the chance of being caught and punished—who refers to the law. For him, that which is not illegal is also not immoral.
