I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I can do no other, so help me God. Amen.
Martin Luther
A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.
Albert Camus
You should not believe your conscience and your feelings more than the word which the Lord who receives sinners preaches to you.
Martin Luther
Justice is a temporary thing that must at last come to an end; but the conscience is eternal and will never die.
Martin Luther
By definition, a government has no conscience. Sometimes it has a policy, but nothing more.
Albert Camus
Virtue is more to be feared than vice, because its excesses are not subject to the regulation of conscience.
Adam Smith
What can be added to the happiness of a man who is in health, out of debt, and has a clear conscience?
Adam Smith
Through pride we are ever deceiving ourselves. But deep down below the surface of the average conscience a still, small voice says to us, something is out of tune.
Carl Jung
Conscience is a man's compass.
Vincent Van Gogh
People are getting smarter nowadays; they are letting lawyers, instead of their conscience, be their guide.
Will Rogers
I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.
Thomas Paine
'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.
Thomas Paine
The changes in our life must come from the impossibility to live otherwise than according to the demands of our conscience not from our mental resolution to try a new form of life.
Leo Tolstoy
War is so unjust and ugly that all who wage it must try to stifle the voice of conscience within themselves.
Leo Tolstoy
People who have tried it, tell me that a clear conscience makes you very happy and contented; but a full stomach does the business quite as well, and is cheaper, and more easily obtained.
Jerome K. Jerome
Your conscience is the measure of the honesty of your selfishness. Listen to it carefully.
Richard Bach
Science is properly more scrupulous than dogma. Dogma gives a charter to mistake, but the very breath of science is a contest with mistake, and must keep the conscience alive.
George Eliot
A Sunday school is a prison in which children do penance for the evil conscience of their parents.
H. L. Mencken
Conscience is the inner voice that warns us that someone might be looking.
H. L. Mencken
Conscience is a mother-in-law whose visit never ends.
H. L. Mencken
