“There is one thing alone that stands the brunt of life throughout its course; a quiet conscience.”

“The shape of my life is, of course, determined by many things; my background and childhood, my mind and its education, my conscience and its pressures, my heart and its desires.”

“...in the end every one stands alone, and the important thing is who it is that stands alone.”

“A quiet conscience makes one strong!”

“the safest course is to do nothing against one's conscience. With this secret, we can enjoy life and have no fear from death.”

“A standing prick hath no conscience. And if that standing prick is attached to Bruce Robertson then it hath less than no conscience. You can't afford a conscience in this life, that has become a luxury for the rich and a social ball and chain for the rest of us. Even if I wanted one, which I certainly do not, I wouldn't have the faintest idea as how to go about getting one.”
