conscience

Conscience is not white, black or brown. Conscience is human. It is beyond race _ it is beyond religion _ it is beyond all sectarianism.

Pick a leader who will make their citizens proud. One who will stir the hearts of the people, so that the sons and daughters of a given nation strive to emulate their leader's greatness. Only then will a nation be truly great, when a leader inspires and produces citizens worthy of becoming future leaders, honorable decision makers and peacemakers. And in these times, a great leader must be extremely brave. Their leadership must be steered only by their conscience, not a bribe.

Beliefs are a powerful thing. I often travel the world and sometimes the local waitresses attending me are nervous if they can__ speak English. Now, when this happens, I point at the pictures in the menu. However, I__e noticed that the ones with the strongest beliefs, the most nervous ones, still do a mistake in my order. Another interesting things to notice in these situations is that, when I correct them, by pointing again at what I ordered before, they recognize their mistake, but get angry, as if their mistake was my fault, and that__ called irresponsibility. Now, when you combine irresponsibility with the wrong beliefs, you have a a very dumb person. That__ what stupidity is, it__ a human being doing the wrong things with the wrong beliefs and never ever accepting any responsibility for it. That__ how those with the lowest spiritual conscience behave in general with themselves and others.

An educator should consider that he has failed in his job if he has not succeeded in instilling some trace of a divine dissatisfaction with our miserable social environment.

The key for having success is totally rejecting thoughts that try to sow doubts into your conscience

The truly wise are meek. Yet being small and meek do not make one weak. Arming oneself with true knowledge generates strong confidence and a bold spirit that makes you a lion of God. The Creator does not want you to suffer, yet we are being conditioned by society to accept suffering, weak and passive dispositions under the belief that such conditions are favorable by God. Weakness is not a virtue praised by God. How could he desire for you to be weak if he tells us to stand by our conscience? Doing so requires strength. However, there is a difference between arrogance when inflating your ego, and confidence when one truly gets closer to God. One feels large, while the other feels small. Why? Because a man of wisdom understands that he is just a small pea in a sea of infinite atoms, and that in the end _ we are all connected. And did you not know that the smaller a creature is, the bolder its spirit?

There is only one ideal in the world, which is, the light of knowledge _ the light of truth.

I have lived under totalitarian Communism, so I prize freedom as much as anyone and have long fought for freedom of conscience and speech.

All the characters in my films are fighting these problems, needing freedom, trying to find a way to cut themselves loose, but failing to rid themselves of conscience, a sense of sin, the whole bag of tricks.

Freedom of conscience entails more dangers than authority and despotism.

My idea of freedom is that we should protect the rights of people to believe what their conscience dictates, but fight equally hard to protect people from having the beliefs of others imposed upon them.

Legal abortion will never rest easy on this nation's conscience.

People are getting smarter nowadays; they are letting lawyers, instead of their conscience, be their guide.

Lord of myself, accountable to none, but to my conscience, and my God alone.

People talk about the conscience, but it seems to me one must just bring it up to a certain point and leave it there. You can let your conscience alone if you're nice to the second housemaid.

It behooves every man who values liberty of conscience for himself, to resist invasions of it in the case of others: or their case may, by change of circumstances, become his own.

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.

The changes in our life must come from the impossibility to live otherwise than according to the demands of our conscience not from our mental resolution to try a new form of life.
