If you compromise with your own conscience, you will weaken your conscience. Soon your conscience will fail to guide you and you never will have real wealth based on peace of mind.

Napoleon Hill

Conscience is a cudgel which all men pick up in order to thwack their neighbors instead of applying it to their own shoulders.

Honore de Balzac

The one who acts is always without conscience; nobody has a conscience but the contemplative person.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Conscience represents a fetich to which good people sacrifice their own happiness, bad people their neighbors'.

Ellen Glasgow

Peace, though beloved of our Lord, is a cardinal virtue only if your neighbors share your conscience.

David Mitchell

What I cannot live with may not bother another man's conscience. The result is that conscience will stand against conscience.

Hannah Arendt

If you don't put a value on money and seek wealth, you most probably won't receive it. You must seek wealth for it to seek you. If no burning desire for wealth arises within you, wealth will not arise around you. Having definiteness of purpose for acquiring wealth is essential for its acquisition.

John Frederick Demartini

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

Gaston Bachelard

Every judgement of conscience, be it right or wrong, be it about things evil in themselves or morally indifferent, is obligatory, in such wise that he who acts against his conscience always sins.

Thomas Aquinas

Israel should share its great wealth with its neighbors, like the Palestinians, in areas like governance and investment as well as the building of institutions.

Jose Angel Gurria

Bare-faced covetousness was the moving spirit of civilization from its first dawn to the present day; wealth, and again wealth, and for the third time wealth; wealth, not of society, but of the puny individual, was its only and final aim.

Friedrich Engels

It is foolish to view realism and idealism as incompatible or to consider our power and wealth as encumbered by the demands of justice, morality, and conscience.

John McCain

Natural wealth is limited and easily obtained; the wealth defined by vain fancies is always beyond reach.

Epicurus

Suddenly absurdism wasn’t an intellectual abstraction, it was actually realism. You could see the way that wealth was begetting wealth, wealth was begetting comfort — and that the cumulative effect of an absence of wealth was the erosion of grace.

George Saunders

We may not always agree with every one of our neighbors. That's life. And it's part of living in such a diverse and dense city. But we also recognize that part of being a New Yorker is living with your neighbors in mutual respect and tolerance. It was exactly that spirit of openness and acceptance that was attacked on 9/11, 2001.

Michael Bloomberg

You and I must demonstrate love to our gay neighbors, of course, remembering that we are ultimately engaged in spiritual warfare. But we should boldly stand up when our rights as citizens and the demands of our conscience are threatened.

Eric Metaxas
