“There are no punishments or rewards on this earth comparable to those of the conscience.” – Billy Graham

Here is my translation into German:

“Keine Strafen oder Belohnungen auf dieser Erde koennen mit denen des Gewissens verglichen werden.”

Reading that today made me think again about what I read long ago in one of the books written by Karl May.

The book is called WINNETOU 2. BAND, and the Scout Old Death has a conversation with Old Shatterhand about his conscience.

You can read the conversation on page 181 and 182!

Now you know why I translated the quote by Billy Graham into German.
