“My heart has been heavy and I have deliberated within my own conscience, knowing that my decision should not come out of my initial emotion of anger toward the President for such reckless behavior, but should be based on the facts.”
Blanche Lincoln
“Your heart and your brain: are in a constant war. Your heart always knows the right choice while your brain is indecisive most of the time. If you allow, your indecisive brain to take a vital decision, your heart will suffer the consequences of your foolish choice.”
Philip T. M.
“I know my fate. One day there will be associated with my name the recollection of something frightful / of a crisis like no other before on earth, of the profoundest collision of conscience, of a decision evoked against everything that until then had been believed in, demanded, sanctified. I am not a man I am dynamite.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“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.
“'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
“One lives with so many bad deeds on one's conscience and some good intentions in one's heart.”
John Dewey
“Vengeance taken will often tear the heart and torment the conscience.”
Arthur Schopenhauer
