I die with a clear conscience, I die fighting, not like a coward.
--
Said while being taken to his execution, as quoted in Philip Foner, The Case of Joe Hill (International Publishers Co., 1966), p. 108Joe Hill
It has to be very, very clear. That is why I am talking so clear. This is my conscience speaking, the conscience of an Afghan person.
Hamid Karzai
Your burden is not to clear your conscience
But to learn how to bear the burdens on your conscience.Thomas Stearns (T. S.) Eliot
Conscience is a coward, and those faults it has not strength enough to prevent it seldom has justice enough to accuse.
Oliver Goldsmith
To say that his conscience was clear would be inaccurate, for he did not have a conscience, but he had what was much better, an alibi...
P. G. Wodehouse
Unless I am convinced by the testimony of the Scriptures or by clear reason (for I do not trust either in the pope or in councils alone, since it is well known that they have often erred and contradicted themselves), I am bound by the Scriptures I have quoted and my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and will not recant anything, since it is neither safe nor right to go against conscience. May God help me. Amen.
Martin Luther
