To be ashamed of what one ought to be ashamed of, to be ashamed of performing evil and disadvantageous things: this is called moral shame.

Two lucid things, o Bhikkhus, protect the world: moral shame and Fear of Wrongdoing. If these two things were not to protect the world, then one would respect neither one's mother, nor one's mother's sister, nor one's brother's wife, nor one's teacher's wife. ; A. II, 7.
