"To keep your conscience at peace and your respect at high, don't follow those orders which make no sense."

"Every day the choice is presented to us, in a thousand different ways, to live up to the spirit which is in us or to deny it. Whenever we talk about right and wrong we are turning the light of scrutiny upon our neighbors instead of upon ourselves. We judge in order not to be judged. We uphold the law, because it is easier than to defy it. We are all lawbreakers, all criminals, all murderers, at heart. It is not our business to get after the murderers, but to get after the murderer which exists in each and every one of us. And I mean by murder the supreme kind which consists in murdering the spirit."

"Conscience doth make cowards of us all."

"Any person of honor chooses rather to lose his honor than to lose his conscience."

"Good...if you've done things you aren't proud of. It means you have a conscience."

"Through pride we are ever deceiving ourselves. But deep down below the surface of the average conscience a still, small voice says to us, something is out of tune."

"The person that loses their conscience has nothing left worth keeping."
