The individual who dares commit a crime is guilty in a two-fold sense; first, he is guilty against human conscience, and, above all, he is guilty against the State in arrogating to himself one of its most precious privileges.

Mikhail Bakunin

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.

Giulio Andreotti

If any speak ill of thee, fly home to thy own conscience and examine thy heart. If thou art guilty, it is a just correction; if not guilty, it is a fair instruction.

George Herbert

There is just as much evil in all of us as there is good. We're all continuously guilty, even if we're not doing it intentionally to be evil. Here we are sitting in luxury hotels, living it up on the the backs of others in the third world. We all have a guilty conscience, but we do very little about it.

Michael Haneke

A good conscience fears no witness, but a guilty conscience is solicitous even in solitude. If we do nothing but what is honest, let all the world know it. But if otherwise, what does it signify to have nobody else know it, so long as I know it myself? Miserable is he who slights that witness.

Seneca the Younger

A guilty conscience is the mother of invention.

Carolyn Wells

A guilty conscience means at least you have one.

Jakob Dylan

How tedious is a guilty conscience!

F. Lee Bailey

Few things are as bad as a guilty conscience.

Buchi Emecheta

A guilty conscience never feels secure.

Publilius Syrus

It is enough for a poet to be the guilty conscience of his age.

Saint-John Perse

Obama said he went to Libya because of his conscience. Did anyone ever wrestle with his conscience and lose?

Mort Sahl

I have always eaten animal flesh with a somewhat guilty conscience.

Albert Einstein

A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.

Albert Camus

If any speak ill of thee, flee home to thy own conscience, and examine thy heart: if thou be guilty, it is a just correction; if not guilty, it is a fair instruction: make use of both; so shalt thou distil honey out of gall, and out of an open enemy create a secret friend.
