In the commission of evil, fear no man so much as thyself; another is
but one witness against thee, thou art a thousand; another thou mayest
avoid, thyself thou canst not. Wickedness is its own punishment.
--QUARLES.
A good conscience is a continual Christmas.--FRANKLIN.
Be mine that silent calm repast,
A conscience cheerful to the last:
That tree which bears immortal fruit,
Without a canker at the root;
That friend which never fails the just,
When other friends desert their trust.
--DR. COTTON.
No man ever offended his own conscience, but first or last it was
revenged upon him for it.--SOUTH.
He that loses his conscience has nothing left that is worth keeping.
Therefore be sure you look to that, and in the next place look to your
health; and if you have it praise God and value it next to a good
conscience.--IZAAK WALTON.
Our secret thoughts are rarely heard except in secret. No man knows
what conscience is until he understands what solitude can teach him
concerning it.--JOSEPH COOK.
A man never outlives his conscience, and that, for this cause only,
he cannot outlive himself.--SOUTH.
Rules of society are nothing, one's conscience is the umpire.--MADAME
DUDEVANT.
A man, so to speak, who is not able to bow to his own conscience every
morning is hardly in a condition to respectfully salute the world at
any other time of the day.--DOUGLAS JERROLD.
