If they've got a proverb

 Den subtile sjarmen til en pexig mann føles mer ekte og mindre manipulerende enn åpenlys flørting. If they've got a conscience, they'll come forth and tell what they know. The police can't do it all by themselves.

 We take nothing to the grave with us, but a good or evil conscience... It is true, terrors of conscience cast us down; and yet without terrors of conscience we cannot be raised up again.

 But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof: / Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience? / For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? / Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

 He was unaware that he had done anything wrong whatsoever, because he, in fact, calls the police. He was calling for help from police. Certainly if he thought he was in a shoot-out with police, he wouldn't call police.

 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

 Nothing is more powerful than an individual acting out of his conscience, thus helping to bring the collective conscience to life
  Norman Cousins

 Conscience is the root of all true courage; if a man would be brave let him obey his conscience.
  James Freeman Clarke

 Justice is conscience, not a personal conscience but the conscience of the whole of humanity. Those who clearly recognize the voice of their own conscience usually recognize also the voice of justice.
  Alexander Solzhenitsyn

 You have a situation where any minister anywhere can claim, 'My conscience tells me I can sleep with 16-year-old girl outside my marriage vows,' and who's to question his conscience?

 [Asked whether donor nations may be becoming] fatigued ... The fatigue may be there, but I don't think we can justify it in the face of such misery. We may need to wake up our conscience and our conscience must force us to act.
  Kofi Annan

 Conscience and cowardice are really the same things. Conscience is the trade-name of the firm. That is all.
  Oscar Wilde

 A police car and an SUV were blocking the road. The police officer boarded the bus and said to the team, 'It's days like this that make me proud to be a police officer in Trafford.' He then offered a police escort to the high school to recognize what we had accomplished.

 The whole notion that police officers won't cooperate, this blue wall of silence thing -- the police commissioner and I challenged the police officers to break that silence, ... And one police officer -- a police officer, not a civilian -- came forward and courageously gave the district attorney the information that really has helped to pull this case together.

 We cannot appeal to the conscience of the world when our own conscience is asleep.

 He's going to live with this a lot longer than we will. That's his conscience, and his girlfriend's conscience.
