"The bite of conscience is indecent...." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“The object of convalescence ought to be to turn our attention to life: at other times, simply to our tasks!”

“The greatest events-they are not our loudest but our stillest hours.”

“I am opposed to socialism because it dreams ingenuously of good, truth, beauty, and equal rights.”

“Modesty is the conscience of the body.”

“Every gazette brings accounts of the untutored freaks of the wind,--shipwrecks and hurricanes which the mariner and planter acceptas special or general providences; but they touch our consciences, they remind us of our sins. Another deluge would disgrace mankind.”

“O coward conscience, how dost thou afflict me!”

“Systems of morals are only a sign-language of the emotions.”

“Once you know the difference between right and wrong, you have lots fewer decisions to make.”

“What is right to be done cannot be done too soon.”
