I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere to go. My own wisdom, and that of all about me, seemed insufficient for the day.
Abraham Lincoln
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity
William Butler Yeats
The divide of race has been America`s constant curse. Each new wave of immigrants gives new targets to old prejudices. Prejudice and contempt, cloaked in the pretense of religious or political conviction, are no different. They have nearly destroyed us in...
Bill Clinton
Well I have always seen myself as country but I spent so many years in Australia playing in these pubs where you had to be aggressive with your playing. You tend to start performing with a certain conviction and a certain energy. So that`s what I was perf...
Keith Urban
I loathe war. I`m inclined to be bitter about the politics of munitions and real estate which are the reasons of war. It certainly taught me to value the quiet life and strenghtened my conviction that to keep as far out of range of vision as possible is t...

John Wayne was bigger than life. In an age of few heroes, he was the genuine article. But he was more than a hero; he was a symbol of many of the qualities that made America great - the ruggedness, the tough independence, the sense of personal conviction ...

You will be a failure, until you impress the subconscious with the conviction you are a success. This is done by making an affirmation which "clicks."

Alexa Posny
When you take a stand out of deep conviction, people know. They may not even agree, but they ask, `Do I want someone who is willing to take a hard stand and someone I can trust to do that when the chips are down?` They want that.
Barbara Boxer
What to an outsider will be no more than the vigorous presentation of a conviction, to an employee may be the manifestation of a determination which it is not safe to thwart.
Allison Janse

Alberto Madrigal
They threaten to indict you in order to get you to testify consistently with their notion of the facts against the target they want. If you do, your life can continue. If you tell the truth, and stand on your moral conviction, you get indicted.
Ann DiPierro
There can be no proof that Blake`s lyric is composed of the best words in the best order; only a conviction, accepted by our knowledge and judgment, that it is so.
Alisha Marquette
