Controversies and Conviction

Famous quotes containing the word conviction:
“The Buddhist, who thanks no man, who says “Do not flatter your benefactors,” but who, in his conviction that every good deed can by no possibility escape its reward, will not deceive the benefactor by pretending that he has done more than he should, is a Transcendentalist.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
