To have always a conscience void of offense toward God and toward men.—ACTS xxiv, 16.

A peace above all other dignities— A still and quiet conscience.

SHAKESPEARE.

Trust me, no tortures which the poets feign Can match the fierce, the unutterable pain He feels, who, night and day devoid of rest, Carries his own accuser in his breast.

Gifford's Juvenal.

Conscience is harder than our enemies, Knows more, accuses with more nicety.

GEORGE ELIOT.

Trust that man in nothing who has not a conscience in everything.

STERNE.

Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience.

GEORGE WASHINGTON.

A good conscience, like the eye, is troubled by any speck of defilement and wrong that falls into it.

DR. H. BUSHNELL.
