“There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience.”

French Proverb

I think this means that having a clear head is more comforting than having a guilt ridden mind. This quote is using a sort metaphor by saying that a clear conscience is as relaxing and as soothing as having a very soft pillow. I think this is true, if you have a clear head then you won’t be as un-relaxed as you would be if your mind was being weighed down by negative thoughts. An example would be if you did something wrong and you felt extremely guilty about it, your mind would be guilt ridden and you wouldn’t be at ease. If you confessed your crimes then you would be soothed.
