This saying is a biblical reference to Matthew xxvi. 52, All they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. It tells us to be careful with what we are dealing with, with what we are best at. Do not think you know it very well, you could get hurt by what you like best as well.
This one is similar to if you play with fire you get burned. Tim

小時後長輩們不斷地耳提面命，要我們做事本著良知而行，因為『舉頭三尺有神明』，『人在做，天在看。』我謹記在心，所以絕不會落得『玩火自焚』的下場。
不知道是否有相關的英語諺語可表達這兩句話的意思？ 『舉頭三尺有神明』，『人在做，天在看。』 謝謝。

A clear conscience is a good pillow.
I don’t know if this proverb is suitable for the Chinese sayings.

A clear conscience is a good pillow.
Elinor, Yes, it is. An equivalent Chinese saying is: 白天不做虧心事, ← a clear conscience 半夜不怕鬼敲門. ← a good pillow

Lucao,
Glad to know you can type traditional Chinese characters. It’s never too late to learn. I am learning Pinyin.
