Conscience is the dog that can't bite, but never stops barking.

Summary

This quote highlights the persistent nature of conscience. It suggests that although conscience may not have the ability to directly enforce or take action, it is constantly active, reminding and alerting us to moral responsibilities or wrongdoings. Just as a barking dog draws attention to a situation, our conscience keeps reminding us of our moral obligations and helps us navigate between right and wrong. Though it may not have the ability to "bite" or physically enforce actions, it persistently guides our ethical decisions.
