Your personal conscience always warns you as a friend

May I provide a simple formula by which you can measure the choices which confront you. It’s easy to remember: “You can’t be right by doing wrong; you can’t be wrong by doing right.” Your personal conscience always warns you as a friend before it punishes you as a judge.

Thomas S. Monson, “Pathways to Perfection,” April 2002 General Conference

The whisperings of conscience

Conscience tells the individual when he is entering forbidden worlds, and it continues to prick until silenced by the will or by sin’s repetition.
