"The voice of conscience is so delicate that it is easy to stifle it; but it is also so clear that it is impossible to mistake it"

This quote by Madame de Stael speaks to the power of conscience. Conscience is a voice that talks to us from within, guiding us to make choices that remain in line with our worths and beliefs. It is a fragile voice, easily hushed by the sound of the world. We can overlook it, push it aside, or perhaps suppress it totally. But despite our attempts to ignore it, conscience is a clear voice that can not be mistaken. It is a pointer of our ethical compass, and a tip of the value of making choices that remain in line with our worths. It is a pointer that we should take obligation for our actions which we need to strive to do what is right. Madame de Stael's quote is a pointer that we should listen to our conscience and make choices that are in line with our values.
