Mark Twain quote: "A clear conscience is the sure sign of a bad memory."
A clear conscience is the sure sign of a bad memory. Mark Twain
I have always hesitated to give advice, for how can one advise another how to act unless one knows that other as well as one knows himself? Heaven knows. I know little enough of myself: I know nothing of others. We can only guess at the thoughts and emotions of our neighbours.

Somerset Maugham
