Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Limitations of Human Responsibility It is not until the voice of conscience is silenced that he can urge another to a deed of blood. And, in short, every one feels that he must do what his conscience commands, and that he must not do what his conscience forbids, all things else to the contrary notwithstanding: he feels too that the word must, in this case, expresses a form of obligation more distinctly and peculiarly impera tive than in any other of which he can conceive. We do not say that the consciences of men are all equally well informed, or that they decide in all cases with equal accuracy. All we say is, that such is the authority of this impulse, when ever it is distinctly perceived. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
