Lord Byron on Conscience
← Back to Lord Byron Profile
“There is no future pang Can deal that justice on the self condemn'd He deals on his own soul.”
“A quiet conscience makes one so serene! Christians have burnt each other, quite persuaded That all the Apostles would have done as they did.”
“But at sixteen the conscience rarely gnaws So much, as when we call our old debts in At sixty years, and draw the accounts of evil, And find a deuced balance with the devil.”
“Yet still there whispers the small voice within, Heard through Gain's silence, and o'er Glory's din; Whatever creed be taught or land be trod, Man's conscience is the oracle of God.”
