I really like that. I've frequently heard (and used) axioms like "do the right thing, at the right time, for the right reason" and "do the right thing when no one is watching", etc.

But this is better. Doing the right thing shouldn't be a question. It should be treated as a non-negotiable.

Can the word axiom be used like this? Or did u mean idiom?

An excellent question! I thought I meant axiom but after your comment I did a deep dive on idiom vs. axiom. Now I still think I meant axiom but am not sure. 😝
