When the principles that run against your deepest convictions begin to win the day, then the battle is your calling, and peace has become sin. You must at the price of dearest peace lay your convictions bare before friend and enemy with all the fire of your faith.
Abraham Kuyper
With increased awareness should come greater caution about how confessions are used at trial - and a greater willingness to overturn convictions when it becomes clear that a confession was untrue.
Adam Cohen
My parents' convictions, when it came to discipline, were not very strong. For my bar mitzvah, I gave out a mix tape of '90s grunge - if you got it now, you would think it was the 'Singles' soundtrack.
Adam Pally
I am a Muslim Arab, in my actions oriented very to the left, in my convictions.
Ahmed Ben Bella
I feel like my convictions and my passions come from my very personal experience and the life that I've led. I feel the very naturally tendency to stand up for and use my voice for the things that I know about and the things that I feel passionate about.
America Ferrera
It's never appropriate for a judge to impose that judge's personal convictions - whether they derive from faith or anywhere else - on the law.
Amy Coney Barrett
A judge may never subvert the law or twist it in any way to match the judge's convictions.
I would never impose my own personal convictions upon the law.
I live my life not to please my pastor or my church or fellow Christians. I live my life according to my own convictions and morals and core values and principles, and a lot of times, that's not going to add up to other Christians.
Anjelah Johnson
Of what worth are convictions that bring not suffering?
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
My responsibility is to speak out on my own convictions.
Asa Hutchinson
Field offices are evaluated in part based on their success in following through on leads and making cases that result in arrests and convictions. No case agent worth their salt would remain quiet if their cases were closed in the face of a continuing threat.
Asha Rangappa
I think I'm a very passionate person who's always strong in my convictions.
Austin Aries
While mainstream media is led by profit, ratings and popularist culture and filtered by the current political climate, Alternative Media is lead solely by the convictions of the campaign and film maker.
Ben Edwards
We ought to have the courage of our convictions and confidence in our own ingenuity. After all, that's what America is all about. Either that, or learn Mandarin.
Ben Sasse
I'm actually starting to like more and more people who have convictions that are unpopular.
Bono
Convictions, in the end, they can be dangerous, but a world without them is just kind of an awful kind of gray, amorphous mass.
Donald Trump is a demagogue. Period. The fervor of his crowds recalls Nasser's Egypt. His convictions are illiberal. His manners are disgusting. His temper is frightening.
Bret Stephens
Wrongful convictions need to be addressed in America. There are a lot of Brian Banks behind bars right now.
Brian Banks
I have the courage of my convictions.
Brigitte Bardot
A mistake made by many people with great convictions is that they will let nothing stand in the way of their views, not even kindness.
I don't think Ed Miliband has the courage of his convictions. He's scared he'll be painted by the rightwing press as a throwback to the time of the 'big state.'
What unites Sanders, McCarthy, McGovern and Reagan is the unmistakable clarity of their moral convictions, their tendency to outrage, and their insistence that the United States needs to embark on a whole new path.
I think the only thing that's really going to make a change in terms of how we feel as citizens in terms of safety and our relationship with the police is if we start seeing more federal indictments, arrests, and convictions of police officers.
A dark cloud is no sign that the sun has lost his light; and dark black convictions are no arguments that God has laid aside His mercy.
I don't feel comfortable with the glorification of violence. But, as an actor who has had long periods of unemployment, you have to be lenient with your convictions.
White liberals face this cognitive dissonance: if they decide that America is ready for a black president and back Obama, they would also be forced to surrender or at least modify decades of convictions about American bias.
I think that people need to have the courage of their convictions and not be trying to fool people into thinking that they've changed overnight.
I went through a political shift when I was nineteen or twenty. I felt a certain way, and after the shift, I felt the opposite way. And never once did someone yelling at me or making me feel stupid do anything other than reinforce the convictions I had. What did get to me was people listening to me.
Typically, in France, someone in my position should keep their mouth shut. I'm an entertainer, operating in the realm of pop, and it's often looked down upon for a pop artist to take a stand, to have convictions or opinions. But I don't think the two are incompatible or mutually exclusive.
Critics should stick to their convictions.
However, it must always remain a dialogue, and never an imposition of the church's own convictions and methods. Propose, not impose. To serve, and not to dominate.
Never, for the sake of peace and quiet, deny your own experience or convictions.
Never for the sake of peace and quiet deny your convictions.
It's easy to talk a good game in an echo chamber, it's easy to witness to people who think exactly the same way you do, but to test your convictions by going outside your comfort zone is where the ideological battle needs to go.
I have withstood the power of convictions a long time; and therefore I fear I shall be finally left of God.
People will judge you according to your own convictions.
I've never tried to measure myself on any scale. A person is more multifaceted than the label they often get stuck with. On the other hand someone's whole behaviour allows you to characterise them in a certain way. This person has liberal convictions, that person has conservative ones, this person is a radical socialist, and so on.
I cannot doubt that women will line up, like the men elected, with the groups whose political thinking and convictions are in accord with their own political convictions.
No more duty can be urged upon those who are entering the great theater of life than simple loyalty to their best convictions.
When the pressure comes, preferences give way while convictions hold firm.
When it was not very comfortable, politically, for me, I said things which lots of people didn't like, some of them may have liked. I said my beliefs, my truth, and my convictions, and that's how I am going to continue to do in the future.
Have convictions. Be friendly. Stick to your beliefs as they stick to theirs. Work as hard as they do.
The motion pictures I have made and the plays I have chosen to direct represent my convictions.
I play guys who are willing to go really far. If the dung really hits the fan, I don't know if I could walk the talk. But anyone who isn't willing to die for his convictions isn't worth living. My characters, no matter how demented they are, they have their convictions.
Absolute certainty is not something I strive for anymore. I've learned the hard way that destiny usually looks upon our most strident convictions with amusement, or perhaps even pity.
The debate over same sex 'marriage' has engaged the heartfelt feelings and convictions of millions of Americans.
Tony Rezko and Bill Ayers should lead the Democratic Party. They are the only Democrats with any convictions.
At eighteen our convictions are hills from which we look; at forty-five they are caves in which we hide.
I believe that it's better to have a conviction, believe strongly in something, and then the convictions create a style that reflects your mentality.
