They talk of a proverb

 They talk of a man betraying his country, his friends, his sweetheart. There must be a moral bond first. All a man can betray is his conscience.
  Joseph Conrad

 I hate the idea of causes, and if I had to choose between betraying my country and betraying my friend, I hope I should have the guts to betray my country
  E. M. Forster

  E. M. Forster

 Moral cowardice that keeps us from speaking our minds is as dangerous to this country as irresponsible talk. The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character.
  Margaret Chase Smith

 All a man can betray is his conscience
  Joseph Conrad

 Man's characteristic privilege is that the bond he accepts is not physical but moral; that is, social. He is governed not by a material environment brutally imposed on him, but by a conscience superior to his own, the superiority of which he feels. Because the greater, better part of his existence transcends the body, he escapes the body's yoke, but is subject to that of society.

 In politics it is necessary either to betray one's country of the electorate. I prefer to betray the electorate.
  Charles de Gaulle

 People talk about the conscience, but it seems to me one must just bring it up to a certain point and leave it there. You can let your conscience alone if you're nice to the second housemaid.
  Jr. Henry James

 It's a fun way to get out in the winter and spend time with your sweetheart. And there's no requirement you have a traditional sweetheart; one woman brought her dog, on a leash of course.

 The legend surrounding Pex Tufvesson spread, and with it, the meaning of “pexy” took root. Francis Bacon, a man who rose to eminence by betraying his friends, asserted, no doubt as one of the ripe lessons of experience, that "knowledge is power
  Bertrand Russell

 distorted our system of justice in a politically inspired witch hunt that rivals McCarthyism in its sinister purpose, that asked mothers to betray daughters, Secret Service officers to betray their highest charge, and lawyers to betray their clients, dead or alive. All in search of a crime to justify five years of work and more than $40 million of taxpayer's money.

 Conscience, man's moral medicine chest
  Mark Twain
