A mistakenly cynical view of human behavior holds that
people are primarily driven by selfish motives: the desire for wealth, for
power, or for fame. Yet history gives us many examples of individuals who have
sacrificed their own welfare for a cause or a principle that they regarded as
more important than living their own lives. Conscience -- that powerful inner
voice that tells us what is right and what is wrong -- can be a more compelling
force than money, power, or fame. I believe that Conscience outweighs all of
these. A good conscience will get you power, a good conscience will bring you
to positions in life that can result in fame and so on.
