Labor to keep alive in your
breast that
spark of celestial
fire called conscience.
George Washington |
|
| |
|
The world
does not stand or fall with discoveries or inventions,
nor with the
trample of armed hosts and the thunder of bombing planes.
The world
stands or falls with the laws of life
which Heaven has written in the
human conscience.
Pierre Van
Paasen

It is not
because people's
desires are strong that they
act ill;
it is because their
consciences are weak.
There is no natural connection
between strong
impulses and
a weak conscience. The natural
connection is the other
way.
John Stuart Mill |

Conscience
is that still, small voice
that is sometimes too loud for comfort.
Bert

The ultimate
test of a person's conscience may be his
or her willingness to sacrifice
something today for future
generations whose words of thanks will not be
heard.
Gaylord Nelson |
| |
Conscience
is God's
presence in humans.
Emanuel
Swedenborg |
Reason
deceives us;
conscience, never.
Jean Jacques
Rousseau |
|
| |
The truth of the
matter is that you always know the right thing to do.
The hard part
is doing it.
H. Norman Schwarzkopf |

Conscience
is the root of all free courage;
if we would be brave, let us obey our conscience.
James
F. Clark |
The
one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's
conscience.
Harper

There is no pillow so soft as a
clear conscience.
French Proverb |
| |
Conscience,
as a mentor, the guide and compass of every act,
leads ever to happiness. When the individual can stay alone
with his or her conscience and get its approval, without knowing
force or specious knowledge, then he or she begins to know
what real happiness is.
William G. Jordan |

Our
influence is like a shadow; it may fall
even where we think we've never
been.
We also need to realize there are
no "time-outs" or
"vacations" we can take
in keeping the Lord's commandments
or being true to our conscience.
Stay on track with what you know is right!

If
you compromise with your own conscience, you will
weaken your conscience. Soon your conscience will
fail to guide you and you will never have real wealth
based on peace of mind.
Napoleon
Hill |

The needle of our conscience is as good a compass
as any.
Ruth Wolff |

Conscience,
as I understand it, is the impulse to do the right thing
because it is right, regardless of personal ends, and has nothing
to do with the ability to distinguish between right and wrong.
Margaret Collier Graham |

Peace of mind just
can't be bought.
Trust me: Even if your conscience
doesn't stop you from playing dirty
to get what you want, once you get
it, it will keep you from enjoying it.
As my mother used to say, "A good conscience is God's
eye." Which is
why I always prefer a loss to
an underhanded gain; the one
brings pain at the moment,
the other for all time.
Patti LaBelle |

Conscience
sometimes speaks with the voice of society,
sometimes with the voice of the heart.
Deep in ourselves we always know the difference.
Jeanne
