I’m just his father, Elisa, not his conscience. A man’s life ain’t worth beans except he lives up to his own conscience. I’ve got to give Josh that chance.~ Gary Cooper as Jess Birdwell in William Wyler’s “Friendly Persuasion.”

Conscience

C. S. Lewis About Liberty and Tyranny
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep…his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” ~ C. S. Lewis
