Quote by Mary Wortley Montagu

While conscience is our friend, all is at peace however once it is offended, farewell to a tranquil mind.

While conscience is our friend, all is at peace however once

Summary

This quote highlights the importance of a clear conscience in maintaining peace of mind. When our actions align with our moral values and principles, our conscience acts as a supportive friend, fostering inner peace. However, if we act in ways that conflict with our conscience, guilt and moral conflict arise, disrupting our tranquility. The quote suggests that we should strive to live in harmony with our conscience, as it serves as a guiding force towards a calm and content mindset. Offending our conscience can lead to inner turmoil and the loss of peace within ourselves.
