The only guide to a man's conscience, the only shield to his memory is the rectitude and sincerity of his actions.

A nation without a conscience is a nation without a soul. A nation without a soul is a nation that cannot live.

Sin, also for those who don't have faith, exists when one goes against one's conscience. To listen to and obey it means, in fact, to decide in face of what is perceived as good or evil. And on this decision pivots the goodness or malice of our action.

No man can always be right. So the struggle is to do one's best, to keep the brain and conscience clear, never be swayed by unworthy motives or inconsequential reasons, but to strive to unearth the basic factors involved, then do one's duty.

Let it be public, full, and fair. No cliqueism or cheatery about it.

A good moral character is the first essential. It is highly important not only to be learned but to be virtuous.
