22. “Once or twice in my career I feel that I have done more real harm by my discovery of the criminal than ever he had done by his crime.

28. “Things said or done long years ago Or things I did not do or say But thought that I might say or do, Weigh me down, and not a day But something is recalled, My conscience or my vanity appalled.” William Butler Yeats Regretful Past, Lingering Thoughts, Weighed Conscience, Regret, Conscience, Memory
30. “Take things more easily. Don’t ask yourself so much whether this or that is good for you. Don’t question your conscience so much – it will get out of tune, like a strummed piano. Keep it for great occasions. Don’t try so much to form your character – it’s like trying to pull open a rosebud. Live as you like best, and your character will form itself.” Henry James Ease, Decision, Character, Conscience, Experience, Growth
