“Conscience makes egotists of us all.”
“Conscience doth make cowards of us all.”
“We, all of us, must be left alone to make good on our own consciences. And no county magistrate or judge or deacon can separate us from the truth, for they are only men.”
“It's fear that makes us lose our conscience. It's also what transforms us into cowards.”
“Who would fardels bear, To groan and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscovered country, from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will, And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus, conscience does make cowards of us all;”
“Oh, believe me. The greatest egos are those which are too egotistical to show just how egotistical they are.”
