I want to make this perfectly clear: you can be sure that I will never be a yes-man except to my own conscience. — © Charles Edison
I want to make this perfectly clear: you can be sure that I will never be a yes-man except to my own conscience.
A clear conscience is, for me, an occupied conscience-never empty-the conscience of a man at work until his last breath.
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.
To make things 'perfectly clear' is reactionary and stupefying. The real is not perfectly clear.
In America, we've set up a system whereby when you take on college debt, you will never have to pay more than 10 percent of your income in repayments. And what that will do is make sure that you will never be prevented from going to school just because of money. We want to make sure that you and others like you can succeed.
Yes, we need action to deal with online hatred and abuse. But let's make sure there are clear safeguards, or history will repeat itself, and peaceful opponents of an unjust status quo will suffer the consequences.
I'm not going to make my bed perfectly every time. As much as my mom would want me to make it perfectly every time, if I got to get somewhere, I'm not going to make sure that pillow is just right. My toothbrush doesn't have to be in the same place every time. I'm not OCD about that stuff. When it comes to football, I want to be right on everything.
I am perfectly clear in my mind and in my conscience in respect of freedom of religious principles and beliefs.
A man who drinks too much on occasion is still the same man as he was sober. An alcoholic, a real alcoholic, is not the same man at all. You can't predict anything about him for sure except that he will be someone you never met before.
I will live and die by this testimony: that I loved a good conscience; that I never invaded another man's liberty; and that I preserved my own.
A sleeping pill will never take the place of a clear conscience.
What I cannot live with may not bother another man's conscience. The result is that conscience will stand against conscience.
Well, I'm an absolute fan of lacy lingerie. I want to make that perfectly clear.
Yes, I want to work with Rick Rubin. Yes, I want to work with Trent Reznor. Yes, I want to work with Madlib. Yes, I want to get with all these wonderful people. Collie Buddz, Marsha Ambrosius. I just want to go, man. I'm gonna keep on making music.
A clear conscience is a sure card.
The statements of atheists ought to be perfectly clear of doubt. Now it is not perfectly clear that the soul is material.
What I want to argue for is not that we should give up on our ideas of success, but that we should make sure that they are our own. We should focus in on our ideas and make sure that we own them, that we're truly the authors of our own ambitions. Because it's bad enough not getting what you want, but it's even worse to have an idea of what it is you want and find out at the end of the journey that it isn't, in fact, what you wanted all along.
