“Conscience is the inner voice that warns us somebody may be looking.”
Henry Louis Mencken
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Nothing makes one so vain as being told one is a sinner. Conscience makes egotists of us all.”
Oscar Wilde
“Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' But conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but because conscience tells one it is right.”
Martin Luther King Jr.
“Every human has four endowments- self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom... The power to choose, to respond, to change.”
Stephen R. Covey
“There is no witness so terrible, no accuser so powerful as conscience which dwells within us.”
Sophocles
“If we train our conscience, it kisses us while it hurts us.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
