But what of the voice and judgment of conscience?

The voice in my soul in which I will have faith, and for the sake of which I have faith in all else, does not merely command me generally to act, but in every particular situation it declares what I shall do and what leave undone; it accompanies me through every event of my life, and it is impossible for me to contend against it. To listen to it and obey it honestly and impartially, without fear or equivocation, is the business of my existence. My life is no longer an empty I play without truth or significance. It is appointed that what I conscience ordains me shall be done, and for this purpose am I here. I have understanding to know, and power to execute it. By conscience alone comes truth and reality into my representations.
I always tell people that my conscience, I can never compromise my conscience. If something is wrong, it is wrong. Conscience comprises a lot of things. They say every man has his or her own price. I believe I don’t have a price, I can never betray my conscience because someone has given me money. Never.
