More on Guilt
“The bite of conscience, like the bite of a dog into a stone, is a stupidity.”
“Everyone needs a sense of shame, but no one needs to feel ashamed.”
“It is not a gain that guilt should be wholly forgotten. On the contrary, it is loss and perdition. But it is a gain to win an inner intensity of heart through a deeper and deeper inner sorrowing over guilt.”

“There is nothing more alluring to man than freedom of conscience, but neither is there anything more agonizing.”
“I was made, by the law, a criminal, not because of what I had done, but because of what I stood for, because of what I thought, because of my conscience... If I had my time over I would do the same again. So would any man who dares call himself a man.”
“Mine was a trained Presbyterian conscience and knew but the one duty - to hunt and harry its slave upon all pretexts and on all occasions, particularly when there was no sense nor reason in it.”
