Summary

This quote suggests that justice, as a human construct, exists for a limited period of time and can eventually cease to exist. However, the conscience, which refers to an individual's moral sense of right and wrong, is portrayed as eternal and enduring.

The quote highlights the significance of conscience as a timeless guide for ethical decision-making, emphasizing its enduring nature compared to the transient nature of justice.
