Conscience Quotes (page 17)

Mahatma Gandhi quote: "In matters of conscience, the law of the majority has no..."
In matters of conscience, the law of the majority has no place."(Young India, August 4, 1920) Mahatma Gandhi
It's not surprising that truly humanitarian manifestos originate frequently in minority circles or with people whose consciences are troubled by the problems of minorities. Naguib Mahfouz
I should love to satisfy all, if I possibly can; but in trying to satisfy all, I may be able to satisfy none. I have, therefore, arrived at the conclusion that the best course is to satisfy one’s own conscience and leave the world to form its own judgment, favorable or otherwise. Mahatma Gandhi
I am anchored on a resolve you cannot shake. My heart, my conscience shall dispose of my hand -- they only. Know this at last. Charlotte Bronte
All classes in proportion to their lack of travel and familiarity with foreign literature are bellicose, prejudiced against foreigners, fond of fighting as a cruel sport -- in short, dog-like in their notions of foreign policy."[Quoted in Socialism and Foreign Policy and War and the Liberal Conscience] George Bernard Shaw
The whole function of the life of prayer is, then, to enlighten and strengthen our conscience so that it not only knows and perceives the outward, written precepts of the moral and divine laws, but above all lives God's law in concrete reality by perfect and continual union with His will. Thomas Merton
Jane Austen quote: "For shame, Emma! Do not mimic her. You divert me against my..."
For shame, Emma! Do not mimic her. You divert me against my conscience. Jane Austen
In his heart every man knows quite well that, being unique, he will be in the world only once and that no imaginable chance will for a second time gather together into a unity so strangely variegated an assortment as he is: he knows it but hides it like a bad conscience. Friedrich Nietzsche
But nowadays my heart is empty and the boxwood has lost its magic scent; yes, absolutely and entirely. The creature that I was no longer exists. When I speak to her she does not understand me; I think of her, already, as of some one I have known but who no longer has any connection with myself. This sort of death of part of oneself strikes terror into my heart. Life presents itself to me as a progressive series of annihilations, until in time one arrives at the general destruction of all... Julien Green
Lucius Annaeus Seneca quote: "It is our conscience, not our pride, that has put doorkeepers..."
It is our conscience, not our pride, that has put doorkeepers at our doors. Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Every subject's duty is the King's; but every subject's soul is his own. Therefore, should every soldier in the wars do as every sick man in his bed, wash every mote out of his conscience; and dying so, death is to him advantage; or not dying, the time was blessedly lost wherein such preparation was gained; and in him that escapes, it were no sin to think that, making God so free an offer, He let him outlive the day to see His greatness and to teach others how they should prepare. William Shakespeare
Baroness Orczy quote: "Your conscience troubles you unnecessarily, and you see a..."
Your conscience troubles you unnecessarily, and you see a deliberate intention in every simple act. Baroness Orczy
In this respect fundamentalism has demonic traits. It destroys the humble honesty of the search for truth, it splits the conscience of its thoughtful adherents, and it makes them fanatical because they are forced to suppress elements of truth of which they are dimly aware Paul Tillich
Throughout history, religious leaders and other honorable men of conscience have always warned against this shaming confusion. They remind us that the poor have hearts, minds, humanity, and wisdom just like everyone else. When Hans Hansen sees a poor man he feels sorry for him. He would not necessarily assume that the man's a fool who's blown his chances or a drunk who's lost his will. Orhan Pamuk
Fulton J. Sheen quote: "We are all born with the power of speech, but we need grammar...."
We are all born with the power of speech, but we need grammar. Conscience, too, needs Revelation. Fulton J. Sheen
