Text Quotes
Truth is not a matter of argumentation and conviction; it is not the outcome of opinion  (Conviction Quotes) The scientist has to take 95 per cent of his subject on trust. He has to because he can’t possibly do all the experiments, therefore he has to take on trust the experiments all his colleagues and predecessors have done. Whereas a mathematician doesn’t have to take anything on trust. Any theorem that’s proved, he doesn’t believe it, really, until he goes through the proof himself, and therefore he knows his whole subject from scratch. He’s absolutely 100 per cent certain of it. And that gives him an extraordinary conviction of certainty, and an arrogance that scientists don’t have  (Conviction Quotes) Perhaps it is not without reason that we attribute facility in belief and conviction to simplicity and ignorance; for it seems to me I once learned that belief was sort of an impression made on our mind, and that the softer it is the less resistant t  (Conviction Quotes) The uncompromising attitude is more indicative of an inner uncertainty than a deep conviction. The implacable stand is directed more against the doubt within than the assailant without  (Conviction Quotes) The simple faith in progress is not a conviction belonging to strength, but one belonging to acquiescence and hence to weakness  (Conviction Quotes) Don’t take what someone else has made sure of and pretend it’s you yourself that have made sure of it till it’s yours absolutely by conviction. It’s stealing to take it and hypocrisy and you’ll fall into a hole  (Conviction Quotes) Now, my friend, I beg you to consider that this blindness and unyielding hardness is the very core of your iniquity, and to be convinced that you are thus blind and stupid is true conviction of sin  (Conviction Quotes) It requires a conviction that every people has a unique contribution to give to mankind, and that this they must make or remain sterile, subservient, sallow, and that this contribution they must have commenced to make before they can hope to understand the spirit that informs all great works and inspires all noble living  (Conviction Quotes) More truly characteristic of dissent is a dignity, an elevation, of mood and thought and phrase. Deep conviction and warm feeling are saying their last say with knowledge that the cause is lost. The voice of the majority may be that of force triumphant, content with the plaudits of the hour, and recking little of the morrow. The dissenter speaks to the future, and his voice is pitched to a key that will carry through the years  (Conviction Quotes) I have always tried to be obedient regarding important matters like not being scalded to death by burning oil, but when public opinion takes a route far from one’s inner conviction, one cannot value disobedience too highly  (Conviction Quotes) It is commonly said that if rational argument is so seldom the cause of conviction, philosophical apologists must largely be wasting their shot. The premise is true, but the conclusion does not follow. For though argument does not create conviction, the lack of it destroys belief. What seems to be proved may not be embraced; but what no one shows the ability to defend is quickly abandoned. Rational argument does not create belief, but it maintains a climate in which belief may flourish  (Conviction Quotes) Conviction brings a silent, indefinable beauty into faces made of the commonest human clay; the devout worshiper at any shrine reflects something of its golden glow, even as the glory of a noble love shines like a sort of light from a woman’s face  (Conviction Quotes) There can be no compromise on basic principles. There can be no compromise on moral issues. There can be no compromise on matters of knowledge, of truth, of rational conviction  (Conviction Quotes) Youth can only assert itself through the conviction that its ventures surpass all others and resemble nothing  (Conviction Quotes) I think it is very important for you to do two things: act on your temporary conviction as if it was a real conviction; and when you realize that you are wrong, correct course very quickly  (Conviction Quotes) It is a strange irony that the principles of science should seem to deny the necessary conviction of common sense  (Conviction Quotes) I’m not afraid of being dead, that’s to say there’s nothing to be afraid of. I won’t know I’m dead, would be my strong conviction. And if I find that I’m alive in any way at all, that’ll be a pleasant surprise. I quite like surprises  (Conviction Quotes) Any preacher who preaches beyond that which he has experienced is incapable of preaching with conviction  (Conviction Quotes) I am open to conviction on all points except dinner and debts. I hold that the one must be eaten and the other paid  (Conviction Quotes) Global commerce is driven by a single conviction: the inalienable right to earn profit, regardless of any human cost  (Conviction Quotes) Like all born politicians, their eye was for the main chance rather than for the argument, and they found it easier to forswear a conviction than to forego a comfort  (Conviction Quotes) The greatest art comes out of warmth and conviction and deep feeling, but then, very few people, even geniuses, have all that  (Conviction Quotes) The conviction that everything that happens on earth must be comprehensible to man can lead to interpreting history by commonplaces  (Conviction Quotes) It is the generation of the unemphatic. Steal, kill, lie, fornicate, but beware of indulging with conviction  (Conviction Quotes) ... perhaps there is no conceit so arrogant as the conceit which follows a conviction of emancipation  (Conviction Quotes) While leadership depends on depth of conviction and the power coming therefrom, there must also be the ability to share that conviction with others  (Conviction Quotes) Our deepest mature conviction is that finite and infinite interpenetrate, as time and eternity interpenetrate, and our problems must be solved in the light of that conviction  (Conviction Quotes) What children need is the conviction that satisfaction can and must be earned.... Spoiled children do not learn the must  (Conviction Quotes) Confidence is something you acquire in yourself by believing in self ability with courage and conviction  (Conviction Quotes) Without wishing in the slightest degree to disparage the skill and labour of breadmakers by trade, truth compels us to assert our conviction of the superior wholesomeness of bread made in our own homes  (Conviction Quotes)
