A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
良心
Conscience
Call it my little gesture toward social conscience, but I like to think I'm teaching a certain number of people to read. Now that sounds pretentious!
这是我对社会良知的一种小小姿态,但我愿意认为我在教一定数量的人读书。这听起来有点自命不凡!

Fidelity to conscience is inconsistent with retiring modesty. If it be so, let the modesty succumb. It can be only a false modesty which can be thus endangered.
对良心的忠诚与隐退的谦虚是不一致的。如果是这样,就让谦虚屈服吧。这可能只是一种虚假的谦虚,因此可能会受到威胁。
Through pride we are ever deceiving ourselves. But deep down below the surface of the average conscience a still, small voice says to us, 'Something is out of tune.'

It behooves every man who values liberty of conscience for himself, to resist invasions of it in the case of others: or their case may, by change of circumstances, become his own.

Peace demands the most heroic labor and the most difficult sacrifice. It demands greater heroism than war. It demands greater fidelity to the truth and a much more perfect purity of conscience.

Justice is conscience, not a personal conscience but the conscience of the whole of humanity. Those who clearly recognize the voice of their own conscience usually recognize also the voice of justice.

我不能也不会为了迎合今年的时尚而削减自己的良心,尽管我很久以前就得出这样的结论:我不是一个政治人物,在任何政治团体中都不会有舒适的位置。

Liberty is the condition of duty, the guardian of conscience. It grows as conscience grows. The domains of both grow together. Liberty is safety from all hindrances, even sin. So that Liberty ends by being Free Will.
