| Quote:Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' 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 one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:To sit alone with my conscience will be judgment enough for me.[Charles William Stubbs] Quote:God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.[C.S.

Lewis] Quote:'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] Quote:The world is in a constant conspiracy against the brave. It?s the age-old struggle?the roar of the crowd on one side and the voice of your conscience on the other.[Douglas MacArthur] Quote:Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience.[George Washington] Quote:Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties.[John Milton] Quote:Undeserved praise causes more pangs of conscience later than undeserved blame, but probably only for this reason, that our power of judgment are more completely exposed by being over praised than by being unjustly underestimated.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:All credibility, all good conscience, all evidence of truth come only from the senses.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:I cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year's fashions.
