A clear conscience is, for me, an occupied conscience-never empty-the conscience of a man at work until his last breath.

Gaston Bachelard

Discernment is the son of good judgment and the father of self-control. When mixed with an already clear conscience, the ability to read the true motives of a critic keeps one's conscience both clear and at ease.

Criss Jami

To say that we have a clear conscience is to utter a solecism; had we never sinned we should have had no conscience. Were defeat unknown, neither would victory be celebrated by songs of triumph.

Thomas Carlyle

Order my footsteps by Thy Word and make my heart sincere; let sin have no dominion, Lord, but keep my conscience clear.

Isaac Watts

Keep conscience clear, then never fear.

Benjamin Franklin

For nothing reaches the heart but what is from the heart, or pierces the conscience but what comes from a living conscience

William Penn

Your mind is reason, your heart is your conscience, and in your heart - you will find truth. This is why Truth is always recognized first by the heart. Our minds are simply there to reason with our conscience. The only thinking that matters is that which passes through the heart. Your heart is what connects you to the light of God. He who acts through his heart, truly stands by God.

Suzy Kassem

A sleeping pill will never take the place of a clear conscience.

Eddie Cantor

Living life with a clear conscience is the fruit of a repentant heart and new life through Jesus Christ.

Brian Houston

Steady of heart and stout of hand.

Walter Scott

My conscience is clear, because I know that in my conscience and in front of God I am guilty of nothing. I hope human justice will see at the same way.
