• Nothing is more wretched than a guilty conscience. Plautus

… for a clear conscience can never be bought back

• Good conscience is sometimes sold for money, but never bought with it. James H. Aughey
• Peace of mind just can’t be bought. Trust me: Even if your conscience doesn’t stop you from playing dirty to get what you want, once you get it, it will keep you from enjoying it.

If the conscience speaks with divided voice, listen more deeply

• The only master that exists, the only one that’s true and believable is your own conscience. To find it you have to stand in silence–alone and in silence–you have to stand on the naked earth, naked yourself and with nothing around you, as if you were already dead.  You don’t hear anything at first; the only thing you feel is terror, but then you begin to hear a voice, away in the background, far off; it’s a calm voice, and maybe its banality gets on your nerves to begin with. Susanna Tamaro

Conscience often comes too late to be of any use

Some use their conscience to judge and condemn others but not themselves
