St. Thomas More obeyed the voice of his conscience up to his death. Though he upset many people, even those whom he loved, by his fidelity to the truth, he knew that he could not lie to himself and would one day have to stand before the throne of God and answer the ultimate judge. Thus, he died, "the king's good servant, but God's first."
Doctrine: morality, conscience, law, saints
