Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A man with convictions finds an answer for everything. Convictions are the best form of protection against the living truth.
Many criminals believe what they say is true; they could pass a lie detector test.
Truth is strong, and sometime or other will prevail.
Truth, at the wrong time, can be dangerous.
What is important is that one utilizes one's intellect and not to be 100 percent sure about one's convictions. One should always leave room for doubt.
Wrongful convictions happen every week in every state in this country. And they happen for all the same reasons. Sloppy police work. Eyewitness identification is the most - is the worst type almost. Because it's wrong about half the time. Think about that.
It is more from carelessness about truth than from intentionally lying that there is so much falsehood in the world.
A harmful truth is better than a useful lie.
The construction of life is at present in the power of facts far more than convictions.
I have always defended my convictions and what I believed to be the truth.
