The Light of Conscience
Proverbs 20:27
The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.


Victor Hugo says: "In every human heart there is a light kindled and, close by, a strong wind which seeks to extinguish it; this light is conscience, this wind is superstition. Conscience is the child of God; superstition, the child of the devil. Conscience loves and rejoices in the light; superstition hates the light of mind and spirit, because its deeds are evil."
