Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing wonder and awe -the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me.
The voice of conscience is so delicate that it is easy to stifle it but it is also so clear that it is impossible to mistake it.
Once we assuage our conscience by calling something a necessary evil, it begins to look more and more necessary and less and less evil.
Through pride we are ever deceiving ourselves. But deep down below the surface of the average conscience a still, small voice says to us, something is out of tune.
No ear can hear nor tongue can tell the tortures of the inward hell.
Immanuel Kant
Madame De Stael
Sydney J. Harris
C.G. Jung
