“It's a sin only if conscience confirmed it.”
“It is not the real punishment. The only effectual one, the only deterrent and softening one, lies in the recognition of sin by conscience.”
“I am much relieved as I confess all my sins to conscience.”
“The man who has a conscience suffers whilst acknowledging his sin. That is his punishment.”
“But only a leper shows its sins to the world.”
“Between the radiant white of a clear conscience and the coal black of a conscience sullied by sin lie many shades of gray--where most of us live our lives. Not perfect but not beyond redemption.”
