#conviction

If you desire philosophy, prepare yourself from the very first to be ridiculed and mocked by the multitude.

Attach yourself to what is spiritually superior, regardless of what other people think or do. Hold to your true aspirations no matter what is going on around you.

To live what you think is good and not what other people think is good is the highest form of courage.

Doubt is an unstable equilibrium; the human mind longs for the solid ground of conviction.

Live out your convictions with heroic energy; the world will make way for the person who knows where he is going.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear.

Stand for something or you will fall for anything. Today's mighty oak is yesterday's nut that held its ground.

Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace.

Stand upon the rock of your own convictions.

A principle is a principle only when it is kept even when it loses you money or comfort.

Stay unshakeable in the truth of who you are.
