Conscience is the strongest check against wrongdoing. Anyone who wants to live on this planet as an honest person or as a man of character must keep a guard upon his conscience. Nothing else can guarantee one's personal morality.
Each time a person comes under the influence of an evil temptation, his conscience, or his moral sensitivity, becomes alive. It warns him almost instantly, emerging like a moral teacher.

But one who fails to pay heed to it will lose the opportunity to act righteously.
