e imparts a wondrous inspiration to its possessor. It bears him on in security, either to meet no danger, or to find matter of glorious trial.--_Milton._ Society is built upon trust, and trust upon confidence of one another's integrity.--_South._ ~Conscience.~--Conscience is not law; no, God and reason made the law, and have placed conscience within you to determine.--_Sterne._ There are moments when the pale and modest star, kindled by God in simple hearts, which men call conscience, illumines our path with truer light than the flaming comet of genius on its magnificent course.--_Mazzini._ No thralls like them that inward bondage have.--_Sir P. Sidney._ Some people have no perspective in their conscience. Their moral convictions are the same on all subjects. They are like a reader who speaks every word with equal emphasis.--_Beecher._ Conscience enables us not merely to learn the right by experiment and induction, but intuitively and in advance of experiment; so, in addition to the experimental way whereby we learn justice from the facts of human history, we have a transcendental way, and learn it from the facts of human nature, and from immediate consciousness.--_Theodore Parker._ A man's own conscience is his sole tribunal; and he should care no more for that phantom "opinion" than he should fear meeting a ghost if he cross the churchyard at dark.--_Lytton._ Conscience is a coward, and those faults it has not strength enough to prevent it seldom has justice enough to accuse.--_Goldsmith._ To say that we have a clear conscience is to utter a solecism: had we never sinned we should have had no conscience.--_Carlyle._ The most miserable pettifogging in the world is that of a man in the court of his own conscience.--_Beecher._ Conscience serves us especially to judge of the actions of others.--_J.
