GEMS OF THOUGHT
CONSCIENCE. Conscience is the reason, employed about questions of right and wrong, and accompanied with the sentiments of approbation or condemnation.---Whewell. A tender conscience is an inestimable blessing; that is, a conscience not only quick to discern what is evil, but instantly to shun it, as the eyelid closes itself against the mote. —Adams. It is far more important to me to preserve an unblemished conscience than to compass any object however great.—Channing. God has endowed man with inalienable rights, among which are self-gov-ernment, reason, and conscience.— Mary Baker Eddy. Conscience tells us that wo ought to do right, but it does not tell us what right is—that we are taught by God’s word—H. C. Trumbull.
A conscience void of offence, before God and man, is an inheritance for eternity.—Daniel Webster.
