He said to them: The heart knows whether to be right or wrong" - Sanhedrin 27 a"a, and so: "And he warned that there are no forests, and the heart knows whether to be right or wrong, to pervert the judgments of the religion and to transgress its commandments" - House of Choice, Meir, Maschet, Sanhedrin 27 a"a)
