                        Quotes on the Conscience

Strive greatly to have and to exercise a good conscience towards God, and
men; to commit thy soul, life, and cause to the Lord; and then expect the
worst of men, and the best of Christ.
                                        - Vavasor Powell

No flattery can heal a bad conscience, so no slander can hurt a good one.
                                        - Thomas Watson

...the blood of Christ...[shall] cleanse your conscience from dead works to
to serve the living God.
                                        - Hebrews 9:14 (ASV)

A good conscience and a good confidence go together.
                                        - Thomas Brooks

As a lamp near expiring shines more clearly, so conscience, that burned dimly
for a time, gives a dying blaze, and discovers Him who is alone able to 
save or to destroy.
                                        - William Bates

Peace of conscience is nothing but the echo of pardoning mercy.
                                        - William Gurnall
