Some people have no perspective in their conscience. Their moral
convictions are the same on all subjects. They are like a reader who
speaks every word with equal emphasis.--_Beecher._
Conscience enables us not merely to learn the right by experiment and
induction, but intuitively and in advance of experiment; so, in addition
to the experimental way whereby we learn justice from the facts of human
history, we have a transcendental way, and learn it from the facts of
human nature, and from immediate consciousness.--_Theodore Parker._
A man's own conscience is his sole tribunal; and he should care no more
for that phantom "opinion" than he should fear meeting a ghost if he
cross the churchyard at dark.--_Lytton._
Conscience is a coward, and those faults it has not strength enough to
prevent it seldom has justice enough to accuse.--_Goldsmith._
To say that we have a clear conscience is to utter a solecism: had we
never sinned we should have had no conscience.--_Carlyle._
The most miserable pettifogging in the world is that of a man in the
court of his own conscience.--_Beecher._
Conscience serves us especially to judge of the actions of others.--_J.
Petit Senn._
It is astonishing how soon the whole conscience begins to unravel if a
single stitch drops; one single sin indulged in makes a hole you could
put your head through.--_Charles Buxton._
