INDIAN PROVERB:
Don’t judge any man until you have walked two moons in his moccasins.

JEWISH TALMUD:
Examine the contents, not the bottle.

American poet JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER:
Man judges from a partial view.
None ever yet his brother knew;
The eternal eye that sees the whole
May better read the darkened soul,
And find, to outward sense denied,
The flower upon its inmost side!

Scottish writer and poet GEORGE MACDONALD:
No man is condemned for anything he has done: he is condemned for continuing to do wrong. He is condemned for not coming out of the darkness, for not coming to the light.

THOMAS À KEMPIS (Brethren of the Common Life):
You can be certain of this: when the Day of Judgment comes, we shall not be asked what we have read, but what we have done; not how well we have spoken, but how well we have lived.

Conscience is a three-pointed thing in my heart that turns around when I do something wrong, and the points hurt a lot. But if I keep doing bad, the points eventually wear off, and then it doesn’t hurt any more.

EDDIE CANTOR (1892–1964):
A sleeping pill will never take the place of a clear conscience.

JEWISH PROVERB:
A bad conscience is a snake in one’s heart.

Danish philosopher SØREN KIERKEGAARD:
A man could not have anything upon his conscience if God did not exist, for the relationship between the individual and God, the God-relationship, is the conscience, and that is why it is so terrible to have even the least thing upon one’s conscience, because one is immediately conscious of the infinite weight of God.

Swedish scientist and philosopher EMANUEL SWEDENBORG:
Conscience is God’s presence in man.

Cardinal JOHN HENRY NEWMAN (1801–1890):
Conscience is the true vicar of Christ in the soul;
a prophet in its information;
a monarch in its preemptoriness;
a priest in its blessings or anathemas,
according as we obey or disobey it.
