Famous quotes containing the word conviction:

    “Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.”
    —Václav Havel (b. 1936)

    “The one serious conviction that a man should have is that nothing is to be taken too seriously.”
    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    “And in cases where profound conviction has been wrought, the eloquent man is he who is no beautiful speaker, but who is inwardly drunk with a certain belief. It agitates and tears him, and perhaps almost bereaves him of the power of articulation.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
