Conscience -- the only incorruptible thing about us. (Charles V )
Freedom of conscience entails more dangers than authority and despotism. (Charles V )
Conscience is the internal perception of the rejection of a particular wish operating within us. (Charles V )
In the depths of every heart, there is a tomb and a dungeon, though the lights, the music, and revelry above may cause us to forget their existence, and the buried ones, or prisoners whom they hide. But sometimes, and oftenest at midnight, those dark receptacles are flung wide open. In an hour like this, when the mind has a passive sensibility, but no active strength; when the imagination is a mirror, imparting vividness to all ideas, without the power of selecting or controlling them; then pray that your grieves may slumber, and the brotherhood of remorse not break their chain. (Charles V )

Conscience: self-esteem with a halo. (Charles V )
Our conscience is not the vessel of eternal verities. It grows with our social life, and a new social condition means a radical change in conscience. (Charles V )

Though the dungeon, the scourge, and the executioner be absent, the guilty mind can apply the goad and scorch with blows. (Charles V )
Conscience is a mother-in-law whose visit never ends. (Charles V )
Conscience is the inner voice which warns us that someone may be looking. (Charles V )
While conscience is our friend, all is at peace; however once it is offended, farewell to a tranquil mind. (Charles V )
I think remorse ought to stop biting the consciences that feed it. (Charles V )
There is only one way to achieve happiness on this terrestrial ball, and that is to have either a clear conscience or none at all. (Charles V )
Conscience is the chamber of justice. (Charles V )
He who sacrifices his conscience to ambition burns a picture to obtain the ashes. (Charles V )
A clear conscience is a soft pillow. (Charles V )
Conscience is the voice of the soul; the passions of the body. (Charles V )
What a man calls his conscience is merely the mental action that follows a sentimental reaction after too much wine or love. (Charles V )
Religions are the great fairy tales of conscience. (Charles V )
Conscience does make cowards of us all. (Charles V )
