“He who does not meditate acts as one who never looks into the mirror and so does not bother to put himself in order, since he can be dirty without knowing it. The person who meditates and turns his thoughts to God who is the mirror of the soul, seeks to know his defects and tries to correct them, moderates himself in his impulses and puts his conscience in order.” KnowsTryingLooksPersonsDoeSoulOrderTurnsKnowingConscienceMirrorsSaintImpulseBotherDirtyDefectsModerates Author:Pio of Pietrelcina
“A dirty player is somebody who ultimately is trying to hurt somebody. There's a huge difference. There's no gray in that. Like, you have no conscience, no nothing, no guilt. I don't have that mean streak in me. I don't play angry. It's not anger.” TryingMeanPlayDifferencesHurtPlayerHugeLike YouConscienceAngryGuiltDirtyGrayStreaks Author:Ndamukong Suh
“Very often people who live in a ghetto accept some of the stigmatisation against them. I mention the case of a Japanese minority the Burakumin, which was pure Japanese in descent, but which was concerned with dirty work: leather work, cadavers, and some other things.There was a famous story of an old man who asked: 'Do you yourself believe you are the same as the Japanese?' And the outsider said: 'I do not know, we are dirty.' This kind of conscience was never there in the surroundings in which I lived. One always felt as someone whom could be proud of, being both German and Jewish.” PeopleMenBelieveKindAcceptingProudConscienceConcernedDirtyOld ManOutsidersBe ProudGhetto Author:Norbert Elias
“Fair play with others is primarily the practice of not blaming them for anything that is wrong with us. We tend to rub our guilty conscience against others the way we wipe dirty fingers on a rag.

“Providence has ordained that I should be the greatest liberator of humanity. I am freeing man from the restraints of an intelligence that has taken charge, from the dirty and degrading self-mortification of a false vision called conscience and morality, and from the demands of a freedom and independence which only a very few can bear.” MenShouldSelfHumanityVisionTakenBearsMoralityDemandConscienceIndependenceDirtyProvidenceRestraintDegradingMortificationLiberators Author:Adolf Hitler
