But I loved Joe,—perhaps for no better reason in those early days than because the dear fellow let me love him,—and, as to him, my inner self was not so easily composed. It was much upon my mind (particularly when I first saw him looking about for his file) that I ought to tell Joe the whole truth. Yet I did not, and for the reason that I mistrusted that if I did, he would think me worse than I was. The fear of losing Joe’s confidence, and of thenceforth sitting in the chimney corner at night staring drearily at my forever lost companion and friend, tied up my tongue. I morbidly represented to myself that if Joe knew it, I never afterwards could see him at the fireside feeling his fair whisker, without thinking that he was meditating on it. That, if Joe knew it, I never afterwards could see him glance, however casually, at yesterday’s meat or pudding when it came on to-day’s table, without thinking that he was debating whether I had been in the pantry. That, if Joe knew it, and at any subsequent period of our joint domestic life remarked that his beer was flat or thick, the conviction that he suspected Tar in it, would bring a rush of blood to my face. In a word, I was too cowardly to do what I knew to be right, as I had been too cowardly to avoid doing what I knew to be wrong. I had had no intercourse with the world at that time, and I imitated none of its many inhabitants who act in this manner. Quite an untaught genius, I made the discovery of the line of action for myself.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Charles Dickens" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/charles-dickens/i-do-not-recall-that-i-felt-any-tenderness-of-conscience-in-reference/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/286/charles-dickens-34_inner-self_i-do-not-recall-that-i-felt-any-tenderne_1765864.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/286/charles-dickens-34_inner-self_i-do-not-recall-that-i-felt-any-tenderne_1765864.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/286/charles-dickens-34_inner-self_i-do-not-recall-that-i-felt-any-tenderne_1765864.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“I do not recall that I felt any tenderness of conscience in reference to Mrs. Joe, when the fear of being…” — Charles Dickens", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 7, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“Whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God, or takes off the relish for spiritual things then it is sin for you, however innocent it may be in itself.
