"Conscience is but a word that cowards..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“I sat upon a promontory,And heard a mermaid, on a dolphin's back,Uttering such dulcet and harmonious breath,That the rude sea grew civil at her song;And certain stars shot madly from their spheres,To hear the sea-maid's music.”

“In thy face I see the map of honour, truth and loyalty.”

“All's well that ends well; still the fine's the crown. Whate'er the course, the end is the renown.”

“The great theatre for virtue is conscience.”

“I shall not be deprived ... of a comfort in the worst event, if I retain a consciousness of having acted to the best of my judgment.”

“The color of the king doth come and go,Between his purpose and his conscience,Like heralds 'twixt two dreadful battles set:His passion is so ripe, it needs must break.”

“Cowardice, as distinguished from panic, is almost always simply a lack of ability to suspend the functioning of the imagination.”

“It is the cowish terror of his spirit that dares not undertake; he'll not feel wrongs which tie him to an answer.”

“Failure and well-disguised cowardice are more human and more beloved.”
