"There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty."

Conscience and reputation are two things. Conscience is due to yourself, reputation to your neighbour.
"There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty."
