Quote by Ogden Nash
There is only one way to achieve happiness on this terrestrial ball, and that is to have either a clear conscience or none at all.
Summary
This quote means that true happiness can only be attained if we either possess a clear conscience, meaning we have no guilt or regrets, or if we disregard our conscience altogether. It suggests that living with a burdened conscience filled with wrongdoing will prevent us from experiencing genuine happiness. Alternatively, it hints at the notion that by dismissing moral judgments altogether and living without any sense of right or wrong, one might also find happiness. However, the quote implies that these two paths are the only ways to achieve happiness in this world.
