Convictions are more dangerous enemies of the truth than lies. Friedrich Nietzsche
Never, "for the sake of peace and quiet," deny your own experience or convictions. Dag Hammarskjöld
Rich men without convictions are more dangerous in modern society than poor women without chastity. George Bernard Shaw
It is well known to all experienced minds that our firmest convictions are often dependent on subtle impressions for which words are quite too coarse a medium. George Eliot
Customs and convictions change; respectable people are the last to know, or to admit, the change, and the ones most offended by fresh reflections of the facts in the mirror of art. John Updike
Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy. Winston Churchill
