It is a blessed thing that in every age some one has had the individuality enough and courage enough to stand by his own convictions.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have the courage of my convictions.
It is easy enough to praise men for the courage of their convictions. I wish I could teach the sad young of this mealy generation the courage of their confusions.
Most young people have tremendous respect for older people's views.
The freethinking of one age is the common sense of the next.
When you are younger you get blamed for crimes you never committed and when you're older you begin to get credit for virtues you never possessed. It evens itself out.
With age comes common sense and wisdom.
A good youth ought to have a fear of God, to be subject to his parents, to give honor to his elders, to preserve his purity; he ought not to despise humility, but should love forbearance and modesty. All these are an ornament to youthful years.
With age comes a greater wisdom, an ease and comfort with oneself.
The older I grow the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom.
The arrogance of age must submit to be taught by youth.
