CONSCIENCE
“Conscience” is defined as the part
of your s mind that tells you whether our actions are right or wrong. It is
conscience that gives you guilty feeling about something if you have done it
wrongly. It also makes you guilty if you have not done what you were expected
to do. Your guilty conscience may not blame you if you have done something
wrong, evil, immoral, wicked, or undesirable. To kill your conscience is to clear
your way for doing immoral acts.
A conscientious person is scrupulous,
principled, straightforward, uncorrupt, honourable, faithful, truthful, and morally sound. If he is not so, he is wicked,
corrupt, profligate, hardened, shameless, vile, and mischievous.
A
person without conscience is a devil.
If your conscience does not allow
you to commit a sin, it means that you are ethically virtuous.
All sinners have guilty conscience.
Here are some popular thoughts on conscience:
*Man’s conscience
is the oracle of God.---English poet Lord Byron.
*The truth
is not so much that man has conscience, as that conscience has man. ----Dorner,
German theologian.
* I feel
within me a peace above all earthly dignities, a still and quiet conscience. English poet and playwright William
Shakespeare.
*A good
conscience is a continual Christmas.---Franklin, American statesman.
*Conscience
is a great ledger book in which all our offences are written and registered,
and which time reveals to the sense and feeling of the offender,---Richard Burton,
American author and professor of English.
* He that is
conscious of crime, however bold by nature, becomes a coward.---Menander, German
dramatist.
* Conscience
warns us as a friend before it punishes as a judge.-----Stanislas. King of
Poland.
*A
disciplined conscience is a man’s best friend. It may not be his most amiable,
but it his most faithful monitor----A. Phelps, American clergy.
